The Pittsburgh Steelers have just hosted a specimen at the linebacker position for a pre-draft visit — a potential Day 3 steal that has been generating buzz after his freakish athletic testing. Oh, and it doesn't hurt he's from Pittsburgh.

Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns linebacker Jaden Dugger, measuring in at a massive 6-foot-five and 242 pounds, met with the Steelers as a pre-draft visitor, along with fellow 2026 prospects Denzel Boston of Washington and Darrell Jackson of Florida State.

Dugger, who reportedly ran a 4.60-second 40-yard dash and a 7.00-second 3-cone drill at his pro day, is an absolute unit at the linebacker position.

Due to his Pittsburgh roots, Dugger did not count toward the Steelers' top-30 visits allowance, giving the team a closer look at his rare blend of size and speed at the position for little risk.
