After trading up into the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Wisconsin defensive linemen Isaiahh Loudermilk. The Steelers gave up a 2022 fourth-round selection to move up with the Miami Dolphins.
Loudermilk, listed as a 6-7 defensive end, garnered All-Big Ten third-team honors by the media and was an All Big-Ten honorable mention among coaches. Loudermilk made an appearance in the East-West Shrine Bowl. Loudermilk racked up 63 total tackles and 7.5 sacks in 40 games played during his time at Wisconsin.
Loudermilk looks to be a special teams contributor right away, as he will fight for time for back-up snaps with players such as Chris Wormley, Isaiah Buggs and Carlos Davis.

Through two days of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers stayed committed to their promise to improve the rushing attack.
Alabama running back Najee Harris was the first off the board on Thursday night for the Steelers, as the team insisted Harris was the top player available to turn the tide in Pittsburgh.
Day two brought more in terms of fixing the rushing attack, as the Steelers drafted tight end Pat Freiermurth and interior offensive linemen Kendrick Green in the second and third rounds, respectively.
Now, the Steelers head into the third and final day of the draft with a handful of needs to satisfy, with positions such as cornerback, offensive tackle and linebacker favored to come off the board for Pittsburgh in rounds 4-7.
