Escolha de sexta rodada dos Steelers em 2026, Rubio carrega o legado da família

A seleção de Gabriel Rubio pelo Pittsburgh Steelers na sexta rodada do Draft da NFL de 2026 traz mais do que apenas tamanho para a linha defensiva — ela revive uma conexão familiar com a organização.

O Pittsburgh Steelers selecionou o defensive lineman de Notre Dame, Gabriel Rubio, na sexta rodada do Draft da NFL de 2026. Embora a escolha tenha sido noticiada na época, a história de Rubio inclui um laço familiar notável: seu pai, Angel Rubio, foi selecionado pelos Steelers na sétima rodada do Draft da NFL de 1998. Angel participou de dois jogos da NFL pelo Arizona Cardinals, jogou posteriormente na XFL e na Arena Football League, e tornou-se capitão do corpo de bombeiros em Wentzville, Missouri. O próprio Rubio superou uma lesão no braço que encerrou sua temporada universitária de 2025 precocemente, tendo registrado 66 tackles, sete tackles para perda de jardas e 1,5 sacks em 39 jogos por Notre Dame. O aspecto familiar confere um significado adicional a uma escolha de terceiro dia de draft, que deve competir por uma vaga de profundidade na linha defensiva 3-4 de Pittsburgh.
