No 8: Dan McCullers (DT)

Selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 215th pick (6th round) of the 2014 NFL Draft.

“Big Dan” McCullers was key cog in the defensive line at Tennessee in 2012 and 2013, largely known for his 6-foot-7, 352-pound frame. A late draft pick by the Steelers, McCullers has managed to remain in the lineup as an interior defensive lineman.

The most productive season of McCullers’ career came in 2016 with 17 total tackles, two TFLs, and one sack. He signed a two-year contract extension with the Steelers in March of 2019.
