2024 NFL draft: Steelers host athletic WR for predraft visit

The Steelers have shown an interest in multiple top receivers this offseason including Floriday’s Ricky Pearsall.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are doing their due diligence when it comes to the wide receivers in the 2024 NFL draft. Pittsburgh sent their wide receivers coach to the Texas pro day on Wednesday to get a closer look at receivers Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell and the team has also had Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in for a predraft visit.

Pearsall put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine. He ran a 4.41-second 40 at 6-foot-1 and 189 pounds as well as a 42-inch vertical and 6.64-second three-cone drill. Pearsall’s ability to get open against zone and his freakish athleticism make him a natural fit as a slot receiver at the next level and with a better quarterback, he will thrive.

The Steelers found themselves needing two wide receivers this offseason after trading away Diontae Johnson and releasing Allen Robinson. The team signed Van Jefferson but we don’t feel like this precludes them from drafting at least one receiver in the draft during the first two days. If Pearsall is the target, the team would still need to sort out another boundary receiver to line up opposite George Pickens.

2024 NFL draft: Our favorite Steelers prospect at every position of need

We would love to see the Steelers draft as many of these players as possible in the 2024 NFL draft.

With the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in full swing, we decided to update our list of our favorite prospects for the Pittsburgh Steelers at every position of need.

Falcons met with Texas WR Adonai Mitchell at NFL Scouting Combine

The #Falcons formally met with Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell at the 2024 NFL scouting combine

The Atlanta Falcons have targeted offensive skill position players in the first round of three consecutive drafts, but they still need a few more pieces. After reports of the team meeting with multiple cornerback and quarterback prospects, Atlanta formally met with Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, per ESPN’s Jarvis Davis.

Mitchell finished the 2023 season with 55 catches for 845 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns for the Longhorns. He’s a potential Day 2 option for Atlanta if he’s available. The Falcons have very little depth behind Drake London and there are some quality wide receivers in this year’s draft class.

Wide receivers, running backs and quarterbacks will take the field on Saturday at the combine. Caleb Williams and Drake Maye aren’t going to throw, but fans can expect to see Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix participating.

Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins, who previously met with the Falcons, turned heads on Friday with his blazing 40-yard dash time.

NFL scouting combine: WR, RB & TE prospects who’ve met with Texans

The Houston Texans continued to cover their bases at the NFL scouting combine.

The Houston Texans continued to talk with multiple NFL draft prospects at the scouting combine in Indianapolis this week.

After meeting with several defensive line and defensive backs earlier this week, the team turned to the offense. Quarterback is not a need for the Texans after C.J. Stroud’s Rookie of the Year season, but Houston could look at adding tights ends, wide receivers or running backs at some point in the draft.

Here is the list of offensive skill position prospects who met with the Texans in Indianapolis.

4 Steelers takeaways from Day 1 of the NFL Scouting Combine

There were plenty of players on the field on Thursday the Steelers should be interested in.

The first day of workouts kicked off on Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. For the Pittsburgh Steelers this will be a first opportunity to see many of the players they have already met with on the field working out. This 2024 NFL draft class wasted no time getting off to a fast start. here are our four big takeaways from the first day of workouts.

NFL scouting combine: DB prospects who’ve met with Texans

The Houston Texans could target defensive backs as early as the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.

The Houston Texans have begun to talk with prospective 2024 draft prospects this week at the scouting combine in Indianapolis.

It’s a time for the coaches to get to know players a little bit better in preparation for Pro Days and team workouts down the line and ahead of the draft in April. Houston also gets the chance to see how some of the prospects perform in practice drills as well as gain a better understanding of medical and measurable information.

Defensive back is a position the Texans could target as early as the first round. Derek Stingley Jr. is a stud on one side, but it’s unclear who will be the starting cornerback opposite him with Steven Nelson set to hit free agency. The safety positions are solid with Jalen Pitre and Jimmie Ward, but there’s always room to add depth in the secondary.

The Texans already met with a few defensive line prospects. Here are the defensive backs who’ve spoken with Houston.

Here’s where we will be tracking reports of Seattle’s meetings with various prospects at the 2024 Scouting Combine.

Yes, pretty much every prospect meets with every NFL team in some form or another during draft season. Nevertheless, each year the Seahawks wind up drafting a couple of the players who they met with, either at the combine or an All-Star game or a virtual visit, so it’s worth keeping track.
