The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2023 rookie class was highly productive in terms of their snap counts and performances on the field, though not many of their drafted players were at positions with easily measurable metrics. That trend is set to continue in 2024 after a strong draft haul with many of the picks coming at positions of need.
Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus released a list projecting the most productive rookie classes and had the Steelers in his top five.
First-round pick, OT Troy Fautanu, landed with a team that views him as a tackle, and that gives him the best chance to be an early impact starter with 29 college starts at the position.
