Report: Steelers receiving calls for No. 32 pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been receiving calls for the No. 32 pick, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Pittsburgh reportedly began receiving interest for its second-round pick before Round 1 ended. Multiple clubs believed to be targeting Kentucky quarterback Will Levis made calls to teams at the bottom of the first, Pelissero adds.
Levis was projected to go in the first round and is expected to be the next quarterback selected. Teams could also trade up for signal-caller Hendon Hooker.
The 23-year-old Levis has the size and arm strength that separates him from the rest of the available quarterbacks. He threw for 5,232 yards with 43 touchdowns and 23 interceptions in his two years at Kentucky.
Pittsburgh acquired the No. 32 pick in a move before the trade deadline with the Chicago Bears for Chase Claypool.
Rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL draft will kick off Friday night.
