Los Steelers recibirán el viernes a cuatro candidatos al draft

Los Pittsburgh Steelers recibirán a cuatro prospectos del draft en sus instalaciones el viernes 20 de marzo de 2026. Los visitantes incluyen North Dakota State QB Cole Payton, Washington CB Tacario Davis, Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodríguez, y Georgia Tech OG Keylan Rutledge, según Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reportero Brian Batko.

Brian Batko del Pittsburgh Post-Gazette informó del grupo a través de Twitter: "North Dakota State QB Cole Payton es uno de los cuatro intrigantes visitantes pre-draft de hoy para los Steelers". También: - Washington CB Tacario Davis (6-4, 194) - Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodríguez (6-1, 231) - Georgia Tech G Keylan Rutledge (6-4, 316)". Esto confirma la visita de Payton -que anunció a los periodistas después del día profesional de North Dakota State el 19 de marzo (cubierto anteriormente)- junto con los otros tres, todos proyectados como posibles selecciones del Día 2. Jacob Rodríguez, LB de Texas Tech, tuvo una temporada 2026 excepcional con 128 placajes, 11 TFL, cuatro INT, seis PD y un saco; terminó quinto en la votación para el Heisman y ganó el Bednarik Award. Steelers Depot calificó a Rodriguez y Rutledge como titulares a largo plazo. Georgia Tech OG Keylan Rutledge impresionó en el Senior Bowl como un guardia físico que podría sustituir a Isaac Seumalo; es el segundo visitante OL después de Miami OT Markel Bell. Washington CB Tacario Davis (transferido de Arizona) tuvo dos INTs la temporada pasada y 25 PDs de carrera; en 6-4 con atletismo de élite (alto RAS), se alinea con la preferencia de los Steelers por esquinas altas, a pesar de las recientes incorporaciones CB como Jamel Dean y Asante Samuel Jr. El equipo también ha visitado CBs Ephesians Prysock y Chris Johnson. Hasta la fecha, los Steelers han visitado a dos QB, dos OT, un LB sin balón y tres CB en actividades previas al draft.
