Steelers Rookie Fullback Riley Nowakowski | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Steelers surprise fans by drafting hybrid fullback-tight end Riley Nowakowski in the fifth round—he’s a massive 6’2”, 250 lbs, and brings elite blocking skills from Wisconsin and Indiana. With Connor Heyward gone, Nowakowski is poised to step into the void immediately as a rookie, expected to see heavy action and play a key role early. The team’s offense could benefit from his versatility, and we’ll get our first real look when they face the Falcons on September 13th. Watch this space—his development could be huge.
