Diesch was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2022. The 6’7, 301-pound tackle played college football at Texas A&M and Arizona State. As a Sun Devil in 2021, Diesch was named a second-team all-conference selection. The athletic offensive lineman ran an impressive 4.89-second 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine. After being waived by the Dolphins, Diesch spent the 2022-23 season on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad.
Diesch should provide the Steelers with injury insurance at the offensive tackle position as a member of the team’s practice squad. Stay tuned to Behind the Steel Curtain as the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to make roster moves as the 2023 regular season approaches.
