Steelers Select NT Daniel McCullers With 6th Round Comp Pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Tennessee NT Daniel McCullers with their 6th round comp pick. McCullers is a mountain of a man at just under 6’7″ and 352 lbs. When asked about McCullers, coach Tomlin said, “He’s an obstruction.” Reporters told him about Casey Hampton’s nickname, and asked what his would be and he replied “Bigger Snack”.

Aside from being so large, McCullers also has the largest wingspan out of any defensive line prospect in the draft at 87 inches. McCullers started his first two years at Georgia Military Academy due to grades, but transferred to Tennessee where he could anchor their 3-4 defense. He is a true gap clogger as you might expect, but is slow off the snap and plays with a lack of motivation at times.

It will be very interesting to see what coach John Mitchell can do with him.
