Top sleeper prospects for the Steelers in the 2025 NFL draft
Before the start of NFL free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded their second-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft to the Seattle Seahawks for wide receiver DK Metcalf. This not only puts the Steelers first and third-round picks in the spotlight, but also opens up opportunities for the Steelers on the third day of the draft.
Looking at the late-round prospects, here are our favorites for the Steelers at each of their top positions of need.
Quarterback - Brady Cook - Missouri
Cook is an effortless athlete and natural thrower who just needs an opportunity to develop his processing speed.
Running back - Ja'Quinden Jackson - Arkansas
Converted quarterback who has the potential to make plays at three different positions thanks to his elite athletic ability.
Defensive tackle - Cam Horsley - Boston College
Horsley is a stout run defender who plays every play like he was shot out of a cannon.
Wide receiver - LaJohntay Wester - Colorado
Slight build but lightning quick and excellent hands.
Interior offensive line - Clay Webb - Jax State
Short arms hurt him in pass pro but the former wrestler is a force as a run blocker.
