Steelers Trade Up for Nowakowski, Boosting Tight End Room

0:00It's April 25, NFL News. Today starts now. AI powered in game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Pittsburgh Steelers just grabbed Indiana, tied in Riley, Noa Kowski, in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. They made a slick move, trading their 161st pick to the Kansas City Chiefs, to slide back to 169th and Snagham. There, that tray let them drop a few spots without missing out on their target. Noa Kowski brings some serious size and skills to the table after a breakout year. In 2025, he hauled in 32 passes for 387 yards and two touchdowns. His play helped the Hoosiers claim the national championship. Now he's stepping into a loaded tight in-room with Pat Fryer-Muth and Darnell Washington already holding it down. Expect him to compete for reps right away. Steelers fans, this adds depth to an already strong group, could be cooking up something special for the offense next season.
