Pittsburgh Steelers Evaluate Prospects at Hula Bowl

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been actively scouting potential draft picks at the Hula Bowl, meeting with several prospects, including linebackers Jaheim Thomas from Wisconsin and Nick Jackson from Iowa. Jackson, with a remarkable 547 career tackles, has been a standout player in college football, while Thomas has shown versatility after transferring between multiple schools. Additionally, the Steelers met with EDGE rusher BJ Green II from Colorado and running back Micah Bernard from Utah, both of whom had impressive college careers. Bernard, in particular, had a breakout season in 2024, rushing for over 1,000 yards after overcoming injuries. The Steelers are also exploring options with running back Peny Boone from UCF, who has demonstrated significant potential. With two veteran linebackers entering free agency, the Steelers are looking to strengthen their roster ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
