Steelers Snag Nigerian Tackle Max Iheanachor

0:00It's April 24th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News Powered by AI. Pittsburgh Steelers just snagged Arizona State Tackle, Max Aheonakor, in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. This 6-foot 6-B started 12 games that right tackle for the sun doubles last year, and earned second team all big 12 honors. He is versatile too, lining up at both right and left tackle during his college run. Starting up in Nigeria, he moved to the U.S. at age 13, and ditched soccer for Gridiron Glory. Steelers fans see this as a smart move, with Broderick Jones battling nagging injuries. His fifth year option looks like a no-go, leaving a hole at tackle that needed filling fast. Aheonakor steps in with fresh legs and upside to anchor the line for years. Pittsburgh builds depth without breaking the bank early. This pick sets the tone for their rebuild. Raw talent meets real need, keeping that black and gold fire burning strong.
