PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – This is one in a series of potential Steelers first round picks based on national and local experts.
Jalen Mayfield-OT (6'5", 319 pounds, Jr, Michigan)
BIO-Played in only 2 games before declaring for NFL Draft. He started every game at right tackle in 2019 and was honorable mention All-Big 10. Played 3 games at left tackle as a freshman in 2018. Gained 75 pounds since his freshman year.
57 tackles for loss in high school (school record), as a senior 98 tackles, 31 TFL, 17 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries. 4-star recruit, father was a left tackle at Ferris State.
Pro Football Network Tony Pauline's take
"I thought going into the season he was a first round pick. He opted out of the season. He opted back in. He played only two or three games because he was injured. He's a guy that has a lot of upside. Like Jenkins and Derrisaw, left tackle who can move to the right side. Fundamentally sound. I like his upside. I think he could slide into the late part of round one. I think he's someone that may take a bit of time before he's truly NFL ready."
