Ziggy Hood
Steelers take Biggest Player Available DT Evander "Ziggy" Hood with their first pick. Ziggy's "fast off the line, blades through the gap and quickly locates the ball carrier" and "deftly uses an assortment of rush moves to put consistent pressure on quarterbacks in the pocket." Highlight reel here.
NFL draft
NFL draft going on. I would take an offensive lineman with my first pick. Then maybe a defensive lineman. Or vice versa.
Penguins up 4-3 in the 3rd.
