2026 NFL DraftPittsburgh SteelersMax Iheanachor
"The jig is up, the news is out. They've finally found me."
There will be extra helpings of "Renegade," the Styx classic that has become the fourth-quarter anthem of the Pittsburgh Steelers, on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, which is being staged in the Steel City. After selecting Arizona State OT Max Iheanachor during Thursday night's first round, the Steelers are scheduled to pick four times Friday, thrice in the third round. Even if the players coming off the board in Rounds 2 and 3 aren't exactly of the household variety, expect a little extra buzz amid record-setting attendance from the locals and the thousands upon thousands of fans who have descended on Western Pennsylvania.
USA TODAY Sports will analyze all 68 picks Friday night as they come off the board, so stick around:

Here are USA TODAY Sports' instant grades for every pick from the first round.
