One of the qualities that the Pittsburgh Steelers appreciate in a draft prospect is his family pedigree. Players such as their past two first-round draft picks, T.J. Watt and Terrell Edmunds, both possessed NFL bloodlines, Watt having two brothers in the league, including multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt. Edmunds’ father Ferrell Edmunds was a Pro Bowl tight end and now has three sons in the NFL.
Two of them are on the Steelers’ roster, as they also added Terrell’s older brother, Trey Edmunds, to the practice squad just before the regular season got underway.
