NFL comparisons for each of Steelers 7 draft picks in 2022

2.52: George Pickens, WR, Georgia

George Pickens is a player that has his own type of personality. His skills on a football field are undeniable and that is why he was the second-round selection by the Steelers. He creates space and finds ways to make explosive catches for an offense.

A.J. Green, WR, Arizona Cardinals

A.J. Green is a great comparison for this player when it comes to their size and athleticism. Both measured extremely close and could produce the same kind of career in the NFL.

Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Mike Williams was another comparison handed out by an evaluator and that seems like a fair one. Williams is a little bigger, but both seem like they are borderline top options at a receiver heading into their rookie seasons.

3.84: DeMarvin Leal, DE, Texas A&M

DeMarvin Leal was the best value pick by the Steelers when you look at their entire draft class. He is a young player that has produced well in college and has his best days of football ahead of him. He could become like a Stephon Tuitt type.

Jerry Tillery, DT, Los Angeles Chargers

Jerry Tillery is a fair comparison as they fit the same mold heading into the league. He has not been as successful as others but did turn into a starter and depth piece for the Chargers defense. This seems like it could be the comparison if Leal doesn’t pan out as well.

Stephon Tuitt, DE, Pittsburgh Steelers

Stephon Tuitt would be the comparison that might shock some. Both were good athletes coming out of college and around the same production as well. This would be a great addition if Leal gets close to what Tuitt has become.
