The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing their draft evaluations and are set to host Kansas State running back DJ Giddens for a pre-draft visit. With the NFL Draft approaching, the Steelers are exploring potential additions to their backfield, and Giddens has emerged as an intriguing prospect.
Giddens, who had a standout season at Kansas State, showcased his versatility as a powerful yet agile runner capable of making plays in both the rushing and passing game. His ability to break tackles and contribute as a receiver out of the backfield makes him a valuable asset for teams looking to add depth to their running back rotation.
The Steelers currently have Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren leading their rushing attack, but bringing in Giddens could provide another dynamic option and insurance in case of injuries. With the team’s emphasis on a strong ground game, they could be looking at Giddens as a potential mid-round selection who can contribute early in his career.
Pittsburgh’s interest in Giddens highlights their focus on building a balanced offense, and his visit could be a key step in determining whether he becomes part of their draft plans in April.
