Know your new Steelers enemies after Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft

Apr 2019

Get to know the players that were drafted into the AFC North and are now instant rivals of Steeler Nation.

The second day of the NFL draft brought more Pittsburgh Steelers for Steeler Nation to cheer for. But with that, it serves up more players to serve as instant rivals to boo. Here’s who will oppose Pittsburgh as new members of the AFC North.

Round 2 Pick 46

Cleveland Browns select CB Greedy Williams – LSU

With their first selection of the draft, the Browns traded up three spots to get the stud from LSU. Greedy is a terrific 6’2” attacker and man-coverage guy. The knock on him is the subpar tackling ability.

Round 2 Pick 52

Cincinnati Bengals select TE Drew Sample – Washington

Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual - Washington v Ohio State

Despite only 46 career receptions and five career touchdowns, the 6’5”/255 lb. Huskie brings to Cincy a player with a solid skill set and one that rarely drops passes to a position of major need for the Bengals..

Round 3 Pick 72

Cincinnati Bengals select ILB Germaine Pratt – North Carolina State

NCAA Football: North Carolina State at Louisville

The 6’2” ILB fills a gaping need for the Bengals after the Steelers swooped in ahead of them to select Devin Bush. The former safety is very physical, but scouts lament that sometimes he gets absorbed by offensive lineman easily.
