Steelers stellar rookie class overlooked for All-Rookie teams

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 NFL Draft class has certainly been noteworthy on many levels. Not only did they have major contributions from several of their rookie class, but if 2022 is just the beginning, it could be the beginning of something really great.

When looking at the Steelers rookies who contributed in some way last season, the list is long:

  • QB Kenny Pickett (Round 1)
  • WR George Pickens (Round 2)
  • DL DeMarvin Leal (Round 3)
  • TE Connor Heyward (Round 6)
  • LB Mark Robinson (Round 7)
  • RB Jaylen Warren (UDFA)

Those six players have the make-up of being a nucleus for the team moving forward, and their contributions were certainly needed this past year.
