Pittsburgh Steelers Host NFL Draft Prospects

0:00On April 9th, Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft, including Beletnikov Award winner Mikhail Lemon from A. USC. He's there with Toledo Safety, a manual McNeil Warren, and Michigan Titan Marlin Klein for top 30 visits at their south side spot. Lemon built his game step by step at USC. Started with six catches as a freshman, jumped to 52 receptions for 764 yards, his sophomore year, then exploded senior, seasoned with 79 grabs, 1,156 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Steelers fans know the team just traded for Michael Pittman Jr. from Indy and locked him into a 3-year, $59 million deal to team. Up with DK Metcalfe, still, depth behind them is shaky with guys like Roman Wilson and Benz Karanik, so they might double up on receivers early. Draft boards see Lemon as a late top 10s early 20s pick way ahead of Pittsburgh's 21st slot, but a slide or trade-up could make him theirs.

1:01He's a slot specialist with slick footwork, separation skills, and sure hands. If Aaron Rodgers lands back with the Steelers, Lemon's wish to throw with him could come true. This visit keeps him on the radar as they build their receiving core. I'm Cory with the story and you've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
