As NFL teams continue to conduct pre-draft visits, the Pittsburgh Steelers visited with Pittsburgh Panthers All-American linebacker, Kyle Louis on Thursday. Because Louis is a local draft prospect, it won’t count towards the Steelers’ Top 30 pre-draft visits.
Louis became a starter with the University of Pittsburgh in 2024 as a redshirt sophomore. The 6’1, 220 pound linebacker emerged as one of the best defensive players in the ACC; recording seven sacks, four interceptions, and 15.5 tackles for loss.
Last season, Louis was productive again, with 8.5 sacks, two interceptions, and a pair of fumble recoveries.
At the NFL Combine, it was an opportunity for Louis to boost his draft stock. He displayed impressive speed during the 40-yard dash, as he ran an official time of 4.53.
Louis is projected to be a Day 2 draft selection, where most scouts view him as hybrid type that can play linebacker and also transition into a secondary role.
