El experto en el draft Brugler elige a Riley Nowakowski, selección de tercera jornada de los Steelers, como su favorito

El analista de draft Dane Brugler elogió la elección de Riley Nowakowski, de Indiana, en la quinta ronda por parte de los Pittsburgh Steelers como su mejor selección de la tercera jornada del Draft de la NFL 2026, pronosticando una carrera de 10 años en la NFL gracias a su capacidad de bloqueo, su destreza en equipos especiales y su versatilidad. El reportero que cubre a los Steelers, Mark Kaboly, señaló que el equipo espera que reemplace a Connor Heyward.

En el podcast The Athletic Football Show, Brugler dijo sobre Nowakowski, la elección de los Steelers en el puesto 169 tras intercambiar posiciones: "Tiene que ser Riley Nowakowski... es alguien que va a jugar 10 años en la liga". Elogió el uso del jugador en múltiples roles durante su etapa universitaria, donde se posicionó como el 14º mejor ala cerrada. En sus dos últimas temporadas en Indiana, Nowakowski jugó extensamente en el backfield, como receptor en línea, en el slot, abierto y en equipos especiales, incluyendo devoluciones de patada y cobertura de despejes, según las estadísticas de uso compartidas por Steelers Depot en X. Los Steelers lo tienen listado como fullback a pesar de su experiencia como ala cerrada. Estadísticas universitarias de Nowakowski: 50 recepciones para 518 yardas y tres touchdowns, además de dos touchdowns terrestres en dos acarreos.
