Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard has revealed plans for a pre-draft visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers in April. He shared the details during an interview on SiriusXM Blitz. The Steelers have been hosting several wide receiver prospects ahead of the draft.
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to evaluate wide receiver talent ahead of the NFL Draft, with Alabama's Germie Bernard next on the list for an in-person visit. Bernard, a Day Two draft prospect, disclosed his upcoming trip during a Thursday interview on SiriusXM Blitz. When asked about his schedule, he stated, “I have one in April to Pittsburgh, but other than that, nah. It’s just more of the Zoom interviews.” The Steelers have already hosted Cincinnati’s Jeff Caldwell and Kentucky’s Kendrick Law, and they plan to meet Washington’s Denzel Boston as well. Bernard impressed over two seasons with the Crimson Tide. In 2025, he recorded 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the team in catches and yards while placing second in scores. At the NFL Combine, he measured 6-1, 206 pounds, and ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash. Scouting reports praise Bernard's refined route running, allowing him to play both outside and in the slot. Pro Football Focus data shows he lined up wide on 487 snaps and in the slot on 308 snaps in 2025. His strengths include physicality, contact balance, and savvy against zone coverage, using head fakes and leverage effectively. However, observers note limitations in top-end speed, agility against press coverage, and effectiveness versus man coverage, with most production against zone defenses. Comparisons draw parallels to Jarvis Landry and Earl Bennett, assigning an 8.3 grade as a potential long-time starter. Mock drafts project him around the 54th overall pick, placing him in Day Two range and within reach if the Steelers forgo a first-round receiver.
