March 21 was a busy day on the NFL professional day schedule. A number of large applications together with USC and Auburn. However Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and common supervisor Omar Khan handed on these exercises and as an alternative opted to attend the Iowa State professional day.
Why did the 2 prime guys for the Steelers cross on USC and Auburn? One purpose. Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald IV. McDonald has change into one thing of a forgotten man in a really proficient and numerous group of edge gamers.
From a Steelers standpoint, McDonald is a textbook 3-4 outdoors linebacker and matches the mould of a Steelers edge properly. He’s obtained a strong body, compact and muscular and performs with a particularly excessive motor. He’s obtained nice pursuit velocity, a pleasant mixture of pass-rush strikes and is a freakish athlete.
The Steelers want a 3rd cross rusher within the worst means. Pittsburgh has little or no depth behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith and this was uncovered final season when Watt was injured. Pittsburgh made no try to re-sign Malik reed so including an athletic edge participant is a should. McDonald can be a stable decide at No. 32 however a good higher worth if the Steelers may land him at decide No. 49.
