One month after ESPN ranked the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class as the No. 10 group in the NFL, CBS Sports had them one notch lower in their own rankings Tuesday, placing Pittsburgh’s productive, reliable rookie class 11th overall in its rankings.
Pittsburgh slotted in at No. 11 overall, right behind the New England Patriots, and San Francisco 49ers at the end of the top 10, while being just ahead of Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans’ classes, according to CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso.
The Steelers’ rookie class of quarterback Kenny Pickett, wide receiver George Pickens, defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal, tight end Connor Heyward, linebacker Mark Robinson and undrafted free agent running back Jaylen Warren had sizable impacts on the Steelers going 9-8 in 2022.
