Steelers Select LB Jordan Zumwalt With 1st 6th Round Pick

With the 192nd pick of the 2014 draft, the Steelers have selected UCLA LB Jordan Zumwalt. Zumwalt is a violent hitter who will play inside linebacker in the Steelers scheme. I imagine his main role will be on special teams, though. Zumwalt is 6’4″, 235 lbs and ran a 4.68 40 yard dash. Coach Kevin Bulter said that he was the highest rated player on the Steelers board when they were on the clock.

Zumwalt has a very aggressive style of play and an intense demeanor at times. He’ll need to earn a roster spot through special teams play, but he could be moved around and potentially be used in a less than traditional way. Zumwalt started all 13 games in 2013, finishing with 93 tackles and 2 sacks.
