The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed three draft prospects for pre-draft visits on Monday, including highly rated offensive lineman Spencer Fano. Utah's Fano, Alabama's Germie Bernard and Arkansas' Taylen Green met with the team as the NFL Draft approaches. Fano stands out as the highest-projected visitor so far.
Pittsburgh brought in Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano, Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard and Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green on April 13, according to Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The visits continue the Steelers' pre-draft evaluation process, with 25 of their 30 allotted slots now known, excluding local prospects. Teams can host players through April 15. Fano, a likely first-round pick, impressed with his athleticism during three years as a starter for the Utes, earning the 2025 Outland Trophy as college football's top lineman. Measuring 6-foot-5 and 311 pounds at the NFL Combine, he has experience at both right and left tackle. Scouts note his anchor strength and run-blocking ability, though he could slide inside to guard given arm length concerns—32 1/8 inches at the Combine, remeasured to 32 7/8 inches at his pro day. He turns 22 in November and comes from an NFL family bloodline. Bernard, a potential second-rounder, recorded 64 catches for 862 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025. At 6-foot-1/2 and 206 pounds, he ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the Combine with a 32.5-inch vertical. Evaluators praise his route-running savvy, strong hands and blocking willingness, despite lacking elite speed. Green dazzled at the Combine with a 4.37-second 40, 43.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump at 6-foot-5 7/8 and 227 pounds. The battle-tested SEC transfer shows arm talent and mobility but struggles with pocket presence and sack avoidance, projecting as a Day 3 selection.
