If you watched the CFP National Championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, you got to see some truly impressive talent, many of which are going to be in the 2025 NFL draft.
In fact, if you are the Pittsburgh Steelers, you could probably build the bulk of your 2025 draft out of players in this game. Here are the top prospects from the game the Steelers could target.
Ohio State
QB Will Howard (3rd round)
RB Quinshon Judkins (2nd round)
RB Tre’Veyon Henderson (3rd round)
WR Emeka Egbuks (1st round)
OT Josh Simmons (2nd round)
G Donovan Jackson (2nd round)
DT Tyleik Williams (1st/2nd round)
CB Denzel Burke (4th round)
Notre Dame
QB Riley Leonard (4th round)
DT Howard Cross (4th round)
DT Rylie Mills (4th round)
CB Benjamin Morrison (1st round)
S Xavier Watts (2nd round)
If the Steelers went with Egbuka in the first, Judkins in the second and Howard in the third, it would look quite unusual but would work to get the Steelers offense on track.
Notre Dame might not have the same caliber of players but we love safety Xavier Watts and his ability to play corner and safety would make him a great option for the Steelers as well.
