Steelers takeaways from Day 3 of the NFL Scouting Combine
The NFL Scouting Combine has once again been and exciting and illuminating exercise for all 32 NFL franchises as well as the dozens of top prospects in attendance. The Pittsburgh Steelers have stayed busy this week and here are our Steelers takeaways from Day Three.
Quarterabck not an issue
The Steelers practically ignored the quarterback position at the combine. Is that all just an elaborate smokescreen and the team really is interested in one of the top guys or are they really focusing only on veterans?
Diontae Johnson's days are numbered
Athletic cormerbacks take the forefront for 1st round
As usual, the most athletic players at the combine were the cornerbacks. The day before we found out the Steelers were meeting with several of the top corners and then they came out and burned up the track. Guys like Nate Wiggins and Quinyon Mitchell might have worked out so well they won’t even be an option for the Steelers in the first round.
Softening market for Justin Fields
Perhaps not directly related to the combine but it did come out that there are rumors that Bears quarterback Justin Fields doesn’t have as robust a market as once believed which means the Steelers could still land the QB in a trade.
