Channel 11 got their first impressions of Pittsburgh.
Itâs all becoming real for the select prospects invited to this weekendâs NFL Draft.
For many of them, itâs their first taste of Pittsburgh, and like many who come here, theyâre pleasantly surprised by what the city has to offer.
âSoon as you get out the tunnel, itâs gonna be crazy, the cityâs gonna open up. Iâm like, man, got big skyscrapers, the stadium to the left. Itâs a cool city, honestly,â Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor said.
To Pittsburghers, itâs no surprise the view from the mouth of the Fort Pitt tunnel is already making a big first impression on first-time visitors.
The city is getting glowing reviews from the prospects likely to hear their names called Thursday in the first round - even though some admitted expectations werenât too high at first.
âI thought it was gonna be a little old, no disrespect, but itâs not. Itâs pretty new, pretty urban. Got a nice little city,â Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson said.
âI was kind of caught off guard because I didnât know it would be like this, but Iâve actually grown really fond of it,â Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson said.
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson said the highlight so far was the pizza and pepperoni rolls he had for dinner Wednesday night.
A lifelong southern boy now potentially envisioning himself in Black and Gold.
âI think I would fit right in here. Itâs gritty, itâs a football town,â Simpson said. âI can just tell that everybody loves ball up here, even from the games Iâve seen packed out, cold, rainy, hot, it doesnât matter. The fans are gonna be out here.â
While itâs unlikely most of the prospects here today wind up with the Steelers, there are a select few they could trade up for or pick at 21.
