The Pittsburgh Steelers completed their final pre-draft top-30 visit with the arrival of Toledo DT Darius Alexander on Wednesday.
Alexander is one of the more underrated prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft due to a less-scouted collegiate career — but make no mistake, he is an NFL-caliber defensive lineman on size alone.
Standing at 6’4″ and weighing in at 305 lbs, Alexander is the perfect blend of size, length, and strength — the prototype for an ideal Pittsburgh Steelers DL prospect to plug next to DT Cameron Heyward and NT Keeanu Benton.
As mentioned previously, Alexander’s disservice from scouts could play out perfectly for Pittsburgh come draft night, as the talented Toledo Rocket is projected to fall outside the first round — and has even been seen available near the end of Day 2.
Will the Pittsburgh Steelers instead choose to take a best-player-available approach in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, in hopes of Alexander awaiting their selection in Round 3?
