PITTSBURGH -- Coming out of Oklahoma and Ohio State in the 2021 NFL Draft, it appeared the Pittsburgh Steelers had a lot of interest in running back Trey Sermon. However, the Steelers took Najee Harris, and the rest is history.

With the 164th pick, in the fifth round, the Steelers drafted Iowa defensive tackle Yahya Black. Black received Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors for his play during the 2024 season. He started all 13 games for the Hawkeyes, registering 34 tackles, seven tackles for loss, with one sack, two pass breakups and a forced fumble.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be looking at the best returning quarterback in the Big 12 at the 2026 NFL draft.
