Virginia safety Joey Blount recently wrapped up a pre-draft visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Draft Network’s Justin Melo. Melo tweeted out the news a short time ago.
As Melo’s tweet notes, Blount had an outstanding Pro Day workout. Standing in at 6’1, 201 pounds, he ran a 4.38 40, jumped 38 inches in the vertical and 10’7″ in the broad. He also posted a 4.33 short shuttle and 6.90 three cone while adding 20 reps on the bench. Combined, he notched an impressive 9.61 RAS score, making him an athletic safety the Steelers prefer to draft.
