Steelers Select OG Mason McCormick in 2024 NFL Draft
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are adding another name to their offensive line, selecting South Dakota State guard Mason McCormick with their first pick of Day 3, No. 119 in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Steelers started the draft with three offensive picks, adding Washington offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, West Virginia center Zach Frazier and Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson. Then turned their attention to the defense with their second third-round pick, adding North Carolina State’s Payton Wilson. They’re now heading back to the offensive side of the ball and adding their third linemen.
McCormick played 70 games in his college career with 57 consecutive starts. He’s a four-time All-American at guard.
In Pittsburgh, McCormick will come in with an opportunity to grow behind Isaac Seumalo and James Daniels at guard. He’ll compete with both Nate Herbig and Spencer Anderson for a roster spot.
The Steelers will head into their final two picks, holding selections 178 and 195 – both in the sixth round.

Pittsburgh natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor move to Mt. Lebanon
Pittsburgh-area natives Joe Manganiello and Caitlin O’Connor are returning to their roots.
Manganiello, from Mt. Lebanon, and O’Connor, from Uniontown, have bought a home in the South Hills after getting engaged this summer.
On Pittsburgh Today Live on Thursday, O’Connor talked about the couple’s move from Hollywood to Mt. Lebanon.
“It’s so nice to be home,” she said.
While Manganiello and O’Connor are happy to be back in southwestern Pennsylvania, O’Connor said it’ll be a bigger adjustment for the beloved chihuahua Bubbles. From the Pittsburgh Steelers fashion show to the gala celebrating the new airport terminal, the tiny dog is seemingly always in Manganiello’s arms.
“Bubbles is a California girl. She really doesn’t like the cold. We wrap her in a blanket and she has many, many puffy coats. I bought her a Steelers puffy to put in her stocking, so we’re going to see how she does over the next few months. But it’s not that long. It’s not forever. Winter will come and go,” O’Connor said.
And they all got quite the Pittsburgh welcome. O’Connor said it snowed when they were moving in, and Manganiello was outside shoveling for over two hours. She said she’s getting him a snowblower for Christmas.
The couple won’t be braving the Pittsburgh winter for too long. O’Connor said they’ll soon be off to South Africa, where Manganiello will film “One Piece” for Netflix. He’ll star as the villain Crocodile in the popular Japanese manga series.
“Bubbles will be in a better state,” O’Connor joked, saying it’s currently summer in South Africa. “I just bring Bubbles to set and hang out. It’s really the best job.”
