Steelers Roll Out Trio of Mid-Round Draft Prospects

The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted three pre-draft visitors on Wednesday: Skyler Bell (WR, UConn), Jakobe Thomas (S, Miami), and Jack Kelly (LB, BYU), all projected as mid-round picks. Bell produced 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 TD in 2025 (after a 50-860-5 in 2024) and is viewed as a potential slot receiver; Thomas had a standout 2025 with 76 tackles, 5 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, and 3.5 sacks, offering versatile safety play; Kelly logged 15 sacks across two BYU seasons, 106 tackles, and boasted elite athleticism (RAS 9.73, 4.57 40). With Patrick Queen’s contract expiring after 2026, Pittsburgh is likely to value off-ball linebacker depth, and the team has now hosted 23 total visitors, signaling continued activity ahead of the draft.
