Will Howard, the quarterback out of Ohio State, was the pick for the Steelers. He is fresh off of leading the Buckeyes to a national championship win last year, and his draft stock took a huge rise from where it had been at the start of the 2024 college football season.

These sights – and more – are signatures of the NFL Draft, which Pittsburgh is in the early stages of planning for April 23-25 next year. Draft activities are expected to take over Point State Park and the North Shore, connected by the Allegheny River and incorporating iconic Pittsburgh sights like Acrisure Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a successful 2025 NFL Draft when it comes to selecting individuals that play positions of need. Two defensive linemen were taken, as well as a running back and quarterback.
