Steelers Host Darrell Jackson Jr., Eyeing Defensive Line Rebuild

0:00On April 8th, with just over two weeks until the 2026 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finishing up their top 30 visits. On Tuesday, they hosted three prospects, including Washington-Wider-Sever, Denzel Boston, and Florida State Defensive Tackle, Darrell Jackson, Jr. Jackson stands out as a classic 3-4 combo lineman, measuring 6-foot-6 and 313 pounds with an impressive wingspan and huge hands. He played both Tackle and in-rolls at Florida State, switching based on the down. He's already strong against the run, but needs work as a pass rusher, sometimes looking at a place on the edge.
