While it’s certainly not unique, the Pittsburgh Steelers do have a history of drafting teammates.
This year, they did it yet again, all in the fourth round, with the addition of tackle Dan Moore, Jr., followed by inside linebacker Buddy Johnson, both out of Texas A&M.
“Kendrick Green, man, that’s my guy,” he told reporters just a short time ago during his introductory conference call with the media.
He is also the first interior offensive lineman drafted by the end of Day 2 by the Steelers since David DeCastro in 2012.
Wesley Johnson was a fifth round pick in 2014, followed by Jerald Hawkins in the fourth round in 2016 and Chukwuma Okorafor in the third round in 2018.
Moore could step in at left tackle, where he’s played most of his college career, with Alejandro Villanueva still a free agent.
And it never hurts to have a buddy when you come into the league, someone you can bounce ideas off of who is going through the same things.
