The Pittsburgh Steelers got some positive contributions from half of their rookie class, but the rest spent the season injured. Four of their seven draft picks landed on the Reserve/Injured List for most of the 2024 season. Only two spent time on the 53-man roster, both appearing in one game.
That doesn’t mean the Steelers have forgotten about them by any means. After all, the group includes first-round OT Troy Fautanu, who entered the starting lineup before his season-ending injury. Third-round WR Roman Wilson could also be an impact player in 2025.
With the unusually large number of injuries, the Steelers will likely treat this offseason like a bonus half-a-draft class.
