Buy Steelers Tickets

The game of the week this week in college football is Michigan vs Ohio State. These are two very talented teams loaded with prospects for the 2023 NFL draft. With the Pittsburgh Steelers eyeing three picks in the Top 40, we wanted to highlight a few of the best prospects in this game for Steelers’ fans to keep an eye on.

Ohio State OT Paris Johnson Jr.

Johnson is an aggressive finisher at offensive tackle. With no consensus for the top OT in this draft, Johnson will be in the spotlight this week.

The Steelers need a massive interior defensive lineman and Smith fits the bitt. He eats up blockers and plays with great strength.

Probably a tier or two below the elite cornerbacks in this draft, it’s hard to undersell any Ohio State cornerback with great measurables and experience.
