In the 2nd Round of the 2022 NFL Ddraft, the Steelers took wide receiver George Pickens from the University of Georgia, a player who would have been selected much higher had it not been for an injury and questions about his maturity. In Round 3, they doubled down on that formula, opting for Texas A&M defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal.
Like Pickens, Leal was once projected to go in Round 1 but fell because of questions about his maturity — he was arrested for marijuana possession — and a sense he didn’t always give great effort.
