The 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh will spotlight cornerback Chris Johnson from San Diego State, a projected first-round pick known for his outstanding man and zone coverage skills, allowing no touchdowns in 2025. With a solid frame and fluid movement, he excels at mirroring receivers and generating turnovers, recording four interceptions last season. Johnson’s versatility can enhance the Steelers’ secondary, potentially stepping into a starting role as they navigate contract situations. His combination of instincts, coverage ability, and special teams experience makes him a valuable addition for Pittsburgh’s future.
