It’s not often the Pittsburgh Steelers dip their draft toe into the FCS waters. So when they show interest, it’s even more notable than usual. Pittsburgh is reportedly bringing in Missouri State DL Eric Johnson for a pre-draft visit April 18th, per this tweet from Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson.
A decorated player from the MVFC, he ended his 2021 season by putting up 43 tackles (6.5 TFL) with 1.5 sacks and a whopping three blocked kicks. According to PFN, Johnson – who went to the Senior Bowl but wasn’t invited to the Combine – weighed in at just under 6044 and 299 pounds at his recent Pro Day.
