Steelers Eye Versatile 4.33-Speed DB Treydan Stukes as Day 2 Fit
Recent visits plus pro-day checks signal cornerback help is a mid-round focus.
Overview
- After a recent pre-draft visit, Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes is being touted as a Day 2 match for Pittsburgh based on elite 4.33 speed and proven slot versatility.
- He brings zone savvy in the nickel and on safety snaps with special teams value, though teams must weigh a raw backpedal, average lateral agility, block-shedding issues, and a 24-year-old rookie age.
- Stukes produced four interceptions in 2025 and did not allow a touchdown, a profile that points to early sub-package snaps if his health and technique hold up.
- Steelers interest at cornerback looks real, with five visits at the position and assistant GM Andy Weidl attending Ohio State’s pro day to evaluate press corner Davison Igbinosun.
- Ryan Parish’s latest draft-gems list spotlights Round 2–7 corners who fit Pittsburgh’s taste for length and physical press play, a need sharpened by a secondary with few contracts locked in past 2026.
