NFL teams are ramping up pre-draft visits as college pro days heat up for the 2026 draft.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting four key prospects on Friday and these count toward

their top 30 visit limit.

The group includes Texas Tech Linebacker, Jacob Rodriguez, North Dakota State Quarterback,

Cole Payton, Washington Cornerback, Ticario Davis, and Georgia.

Tech Offensive Lyman, Keelan Rutledge, Rodriguez stands out as a classic inside linebacker

with sharp football instincts and a high IQ that make him special on the field.

He clocked a solid 4.57 second 40 at the combine, even if he's not the fastest guy out there.

He's projected as a third round pick, and with the Steelers holding three selections

in that range, he could be a great fit to bolster there.

Fans can track all these Steelers' visits on the ongoing pre-draft list as the process rolls on.
