GM Kevin Colbert talks Steelers pre-draft struggles

We are only two days from the start of the 2020 NFL draft. And because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this draft and practically all the pre-draft steps ahead of it have been altered to a virtual concept. The lack of in-person contact has created some real issues for all teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert spoke to the media on Monday via video call, and outlined some of the concerns they have with potential draft targets this includes dozens of players without a legitimate 40-time and even more without physicals.

Fortunately for the Steelers, every franchise is in the same boat so everyone is working with the same issues.
