Iheanachor is the seventh draft pick the Steelers have signed this offseason.

The Steelers signed first-round offensive tackle Max Iheanachor to his four-year rookie deal, the team announced Friday. Iheanachor, who played at Arizona State, was selected with the 21st overall pick. He is the seventh of 10 picks to sign, leaving only second-round wide receiver Germie Bernard, third-round quarterback Drew Allar and seventh-round running back Eli Heidenreich unsigned. Iheanachor, a key cog in Arizona State’s offensive line, did not allow a sack in his senior season. He appeared in 32 career games, starting 31 for the Sun Devils. He was an All-Big 12 Second Team selection in 2025. “ I’m very excited about Max ,” Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said, via Teresa Varley of the team website. “He’s great for us. A stud of a young man. Throughout the process, you heard about him a little bit early, and he just kept growing and growing and growing through the evaluation. He kept climbing up our board. We were excited that he was there. “I think it’s an excellent pick for us. He’ll be a great addition to our offensive line.”

Eli Heidenreich - Finds home with Steelers

sleeper-rotowireApr 25, 2026, 6:11 PM+2 stories · 30dSource unavailable

Eli Heidenreich

The Steelers selected Heidenrich in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 230th overall. Heidenrich is arguably the most versatile back in the draft, racking up not only 77 carries for 499 yards and three touchdowns, but also adding 51 catches for a whopping 941 yards and six touchdowns in a triple-option Navy offense that doesn't typically throw the ball that often. He figures to be more of a receiving back similar to a Danny Woodhead or Darren Sproles but could be a unique player with a creative offensive coordinator. Heidenrich's top-end speed isn't off the charts, and he's not the most elusive back in the draft. He'll have to earn his way up the depth chart in the Steel City and may be asked to contribute on special teams to keep his spot on the 53-man roster

Navy's Eli Heidenreich to the Steelers at No. 230 Overall

Eli Heidenreich

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Navy running back prospect Eli Heidenreich with the 230th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A three-year contributor in college, Heidenreich posted elite numbers in the passing game. Last season, he had 499 rushing yards, 51 catches, 941 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns. He also set a new all-time program record with six touchdown receptions in a single season. The pass-catching numbers are very impressive, and he should continue to have a role on passing downs at the next level. There's a decent chance that he'll be able to carve out some third-down snaps in the Steelers' backfield behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle
