Tracking The Steelers' Formal Visits At The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine
Chris Pietsch/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK

It's draft season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 2023 NFL Draft is now just under two months away. The front office will be loaded with meetings between now and then, as they try and nail down this upcoming class. 

Here below, you will find players that the team has met with so far in the pre-draft process, typically a sign the team is at least interested in the player:

Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders

He moved to off-ball linebacker in 2022, and his combine will play a large role in where he goes in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Oregon linebacker Noah Sewell

Like Bresee, his stock fell a ton in 2022. He's another potential high-risk, high-upside pick, likely in the second round.


How big of a need is defensive line for the Steelers? 

Clemson defensive lineman Bryan Bresee

With three top-50 selections, Bresee could certainly be in play for Pittsburgh. His stock fell in 2022, but he'd be a high-upside pick.

Florida defensive lineman Gervon Dexter

This guy is climbing up draft boards, and he would be a phenomenal addition to improving the team's run defense.

Iowa defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness

His stock continues to rise, so he may only be in play for the Steelers' 17th overall pick, if that.

Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba

While WR isn't the team's biggest need, this would be quite the pick for a "best player available" strategy.

Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski 

He may be better suited as a guard in the pros, but he would make a lot of sense at No. 17.

Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr.

The connection is there, but so is the talent. He's probably the most likely pick at No. 17 at this point.

Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo

His draft stock fell quite a bit this season, but he could be a backup option at CB for the second round.

Alabama defensive lineman Byron Young

20 TFL and 7.5 sacks in four years with Alabama.

Georgia EDGE Nolan Smith

Apart of two title-winning teams, Smith's name is quietly going under the radar after a season-ending injury in 2022.

Kansas State EDGE Felix Anudike 

Anudike was an All-American First Team and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2022.

Cincinnati linebacker Ivan Pace

Pace transferred from Miami (Ohio) to Cincinnati for 2022 and put together one of the best defensive seasons in college football history. 20.5 TFL, 9 sacks, Unanimous First Team All-American, AAC Defensive Player of the Year.

Wisconsin EDGE Nick Herbig

30 TFL and 20 sacks in his final two seasons with Wisconsin. TJ Watt may provide the front office with some input on this guy.

Alabama linebacker Henry To'o'To'o

Another guy who saw his draft stock fall quite a bit in 2022. The talent is there, but it would be a risky pick.

USC wide receiver Jordan Addison

The star WR didn't have a great week in Indianapolis, but his tape remains very good.

Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes

He could be a decent corner option in the second round.

Georgia offensive lineman Broderick Jones

A freak athlete, this is one of the few offensive tackles that the team could pursue within the first two rounds.

Duke linebacker Shaka Heyward

Mississippi State defensive lineman Cameron Young

Oregon State offensive lineman Brandon Kipper

Oklahoma defensive back Justin Broiles

Toledo defensive lineman Desjuan Johnson
