The Pittsburgh Steelers head back to Maryland in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL for their second Terrapin selection of the day. First, the Steelers chose running back Anthony McFarland Jr. in the fourth round and now they have selected former Maryland safety Antoine Brooks Jr. in the sixth.
The Steelers once again banked on intel from head coach Mike Tomlin and his son Dino as Brooks was teammates with him at Maryland. Brooks is a downhill thumper of a strong safety and excellent tackler. He is built like a linebacker and while he won’t offer much off the ball, he could be solid on special teams and in run support.
So far in this draft, the Steelers have address depth at multiple positions of need including wide receiver, edge rusher, offensive guard, and running back as well as safety with the pick of Brooks.
