Steelers receberão o safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, de Toledo, na quinta-feira

O Pittsburgh Steelers receberá o destaque da universidade de Toledo, o safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, para uma visita pré-draft nesta quinta-feira, segundo o insider da NFL Jordan Schultz. McNeil-Warren, um provável candidato à primeira rodada, visitou recentemente Dolphins, Patriots, Browns, Cowboys e Falcons. Ele é classificado como um dos três melhores prospectos da posição de safety em uma classe profunda.

Pittsburgh detém a 21ª escolha geral no próximo Draft da NFL e carece de opções de longo prazo na posição de safety, apesar de manter Jalen Ramsey e contratar Jaquan Brisker. McNeil-Warren, medindo 1,91m, pesando 91kg e com 1,98m de envergadura, correu as 40 jardas em 4,52 segundos no NFL Combine. Suas estatísticas de 2025 incluem 77 tackles, 5,5 para perda de jardas, cinco passes desviados, três fumbles forçados e duas interceptações; ele forçou nove fumbles ao longo de sua carreira. O Pro Football Focus o avaliou como o melhor safety do futebol americano universitário em 2025, com a melhor nota de cobertura da FBS na posição. Relatórios de olheiros o comparam a Justin Reid e elogiam seu tackle, atletismo e versatilidade, embora ele possa ganhar peso e aprimorar sua disciplina visual para ter potencial de jogar todas as descidas. O general manager dos Steelers, Omar Khan, priorizou visitantes pré-draft que acabaram sendo escolhas de primeira rodada, incluindo as seleções recentes de Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu e Derrick Harmon. McNeil-Warren se destaca entre os visitantes conhecidos, como o WR Denzel Boston (Washington), o CB Chris Johnson (San Diego) e o LB Jacob Rodriguez (Texas Tech). Na quarta-feira, os Steelers receberam os prospectos de rodadas intermediárias: o WR Skyler Bell (UConn), o S Jakobe Thomas (Miami) e o LB Jack Kelly (BYU), segundo Mike DeFabo, do The Athletic. Bell registrou 101 recepções para 1.278 jardas e 13 touchdowns em 2025; Thomas somou 76 tackles, cinco interceptações e 3,5 sacks; Kelly registrou 10 sacks e um Índice Atlético Relativo (RAS) de 9,73. A equipe relatou até agora 23 visitas pré-draft.
