Clemson Pro Day draws the attention of the Pittsburgh Steelers brass

While the Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free agents left and right, literally, it doesn’t mean the preparation for the 2022 NFL Draft goes on hiatus. With the NFL Scouting Combine in the books, individual schools are now hosting NFL scouting departments for pro days. And in the last two days, there have been two big pro days for NFL teams.

Wednesday was the University of Georgia in Athens, which drew the attention of the Steelers’ big guns. By big guns I’m referring to not just Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin, but Brian Flores also making the trip to see the Bulldogs workout.

Thursday was Clemson’s pro day, and while the Clemson Tigers weren’t what most were expecting this past season, the Steelers’ brass were there as well. In fact, an interesting note came to light Wednesday when it was reported how Clemson coach Dabo Swinney talked about how Mike Tomlin doesn’t just go to the pro day, but goes to Clemson a day early so he can watch the Tigers practice.

Obviously, a school like Clemson will have many players drafted in the first two days of the selection process, but the Steelers didn’t have their entire scouting department in attendance.

In fact, the Steelers sent two scouts, Mark Bruener and Kelvin Fisher, to the University of Colorado to take a look at two specific prospects.

This per Justin Guerriero:

The two prospects at Colorado were inside linebacker Nate Landman and outside linebacker/pass rusher Carson Wells. Two positions of need for the Steelers during this draft cycle, and a couple names to keep an eye on as the process plays out.
