The Pittsburgh Steelers have brought in several players for pre-draft visits over the last few weeks. The Steelers are allotted 30 pre-draft visitorr prior to the 2026 NFL Draft<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Prospects from the Pittsburgh area, whether through college or high school, do not count against the Steelers\u2019 30 allowed pre-draft visitors. <\/p>\n

The Steelers hosted Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell for a pre-draft visit on March 6. He was the first reported visitor. <\/p>\n

Bell is a massive human, standing at 6-foot-9, 346 pounds. He\u2019s also fast for his size, posting an impressive 5.36 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine<\/a>. Bell has nine-inch hands and an arm length of 36 3\/8.<\/p>\n

The Steelers also hosted Washington cornerback Ephesians Prysock for a pre-draft visit. <\/p>\n

Prysock was named an All-Big Ten honorable mention last season after starting all 13 games for the Huskies. Prysock totaled 48 tackles \u2014 fifth-most on the team \u2014 and had an interception and seven pass breakups, as well.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Steelers hosted Penn State tight end Khalil Dinkins for a pre-draft visit, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic<\/a>. Dinkins ia a North Allegheny grad, so he doesn\u2019t count against the 30 total pre-draft visits that are allotted for each team.<\/p>\n

The Steelers released Jonnu Smith<\/a> and Connor Heywar<\/a>d signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, so a depth tight end is needed.<\/p>\n

Dinkins, who stands at 6-foot-4, 251 pounds, ran a 4.71<\/a> in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He also posted a 1.7 10-yard split, 32.5 vertical jump, 9\u2032 11\u2033 broad jump, and 25 reps on the bench press, which was 225 pounds.<\/p>\n

Below is the list of players who have already visited with the Steelers. Miami quarterback Carson Beck and San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson<\/a> visited with the Steelers on Tuesday. Two wide receivers \u2014 Jeff Caldwell of Cincinnati and Kendrick Law of Kentucky \u2014 visited with the Steelers on Monday. <\/p>\n
