The Pittsburgh Steelers waited until the third round to address the wide receiver position, but once again they stuck with their pick without maneuvering the draft board and watched Michigan WR Roman Wilson fall to them at No. 84 overall. Wilson was the unquestioned top receiver at the 2024 Senior Bowl down in Mobile, and he caught Mike Tomlin’s attention at the event. Now he will be suiting up as the WR2 in Pittsburgh opposite George Pickens.
The Draft Network’s Justin Melo posted an interview with Wilson a couple weeks before the draft, and he let on a little about the mentality that was ingrained in him at Michigan as a willing participant blocking in the run game.
