Each NFL team gets 30 pre-draft visits with NFL prospects. Sort of. There is a loophole for local prospects but without getting too far off track, suffice it to say things are about to get really busy for Pittsburgh with less than a month to the 2019 NFL draft.
Steelers’ writer Joe Rutter has reported the first wave of pre-draft visitors on Monday with several names Steelers’ fans should recognize.
Here is the list of the first wave of visits.
Mile Sanders | Running back | Penn State
Damien Harris | Running back | Alabama
Alize Mack | Tight end | Notre Dame
Andy Isabella | Wide receiver | UMass
Dillon Mitchell | Wide receiver | Oregon
The most interesting name on this list is Isabella. He’s a dynamic playmaker at wide receiver who blew up the combine with some ridiculous triangle numbers. If he’s available in the third round, he’d make a great pick.
It is interesting to see two running backs on the list. The Steelers have James Conner and Jaylen Samuels on the roster but could add a running back late to help replace Stevan Ridley who remains a free agent.
