Mentioned in this story
A potential Pittsburgh Steelers draft target has been arrested less than one week away from the 2026 NFL Draft.
On Sunday, Georgia wide receiver Zachariah branch, who's been linked as a potential Day 2 pick for the Steelers, was arrested on two potential misdemeanor charges. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero provided a look at the police report on social media.
āA male, later identified as Zacharia Branch, continued to stand on the sidewalk without making an attempt to move. I continued to give Zacharia Branch verbal commands to move from blocking the sidewalk and advised that if he did not, he would receive a citation for blocking the sidewalk. Zacharia Branch smirked, then stepped backwards and to the right, then remained standing upon the public sidewalk, so as to obstruct, hinder, and impede free passage upon the sidewalk as well as impede free ingress/egress to or from the adjacent places of business. Due to those actions and Zacharia Branchās failure to comply with multiple verbal lawful commands, he was placed under arrest for misdemeanor Obstruction of LEO and received a citation for Obstructing Public Sidewalks.ā
Branch, who played at USC from 2023ā2024 and Georgia in 2025, caught 159 passes for 1,634 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over the past three collegiate seasons.
It remains to be seen if the recent legal trouble will impact Branchās draft stock, but we at Steelers Wire will monitor the situation closely as the 2026 NFL Draft draws near.
