The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Iowa offensive lineman Gennings Dunker in the third round, with PFF naming him one of the round’s top steals thanks to his devastating power and run-blocking ability; he projects best at guard and can play tackle, though he lacks ideal lateral quickness. Steelers OL coach James Campen said Dunker will primarily play guard as he develops.
Gennings Dunker, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound Iowa offensive lineman known for overpowering drive blocks, was chosen by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (No. 96). Beyond his on-field power, the charismatic lineman is famous for a coffee-fueled pre-practice routine, a larger-than-life personality, and a disciplined academic background, with versatility to play guard or tackle and a leadership presence that could anchor Pittsburgh’s line as he develops.
Raiders scouts are in Mobile for the 2026 Senior Bowl to evaluate three players who could fuel Las Vegas' draft board: Gennings Dunker (Iowa OT), a dominant lineman who could move inside to guard/center; Jacob Rodriguez (Texas Tech LB), a top off-ball linebacker with a trophy-winning season; and Ted Hurst (Georgia State WR), a standout from a smaller school with strong receiving numbers and elite catch radius. The game is Jan. 31 at 11:30 a.m. PT, streaming on NFL+ and airing on NFL Network.
