Homegrown Steal: Dugger's Steelers Visit

0:00On April 7th, the Pittsburgh Steelers just brought in a beast at linebacker for a pre-draft look ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Jaden Dugger from the Louisiana Rack Inc. stands 6-5, 242 pounds, and he's got that rare mix of size and speed-turning, heads. They also hosted wire receiver Denzel Boston from Washington and cornerback Darryl Jackson from Florida State, but Dugger is the one stealing the spotlight with his Pittsburgh hometown ties. Things are buzzing because Dugger didn't count against the team's top 30 visit limit since he's local, letting the Steelers check him out of close. Without burning a slot, his pro-day numbers popped off a 4.6, 040 yard dash, and a 7.003 cone drill for a guy that big. Word is, he's a potential day 3 gym. The kind of athletic freak who could slide right into their linebacker room and make an impact early. Steelers nation, keep your eyes on this one as draft season heats up. Dugger might just be the homegrown steel they've been hunting.
