Despite the limitations the NFL is dealing with heading into the 2020 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still using technology to make contact with potential prospects. One such prospect if former Cal linebacker Evan Weaver who held a pre-draft meeting over FaceTime with the Steelers.

If you are wondering why the Steelers are dedicating time and resources to Weaver, join the club. Weaver has been very productive during his football career all the way back to high school but it’s more about effort and football IQ than any particular physical tools. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein described Weaver as “built like an undersized center with stubby arms and fleshy midsection” which isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement.

Nevertheless, Weaver was productive and does project as a special teams star and possible short-yardage run stopper at linebacker.
