The Pittsburgh Steelers have added one of the cult favorites of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Navy running back/tight end/fullback Eli Heidenreich in the seventh round of the NFL Draft.

He finished with 1,994 receiving yards at Navy, which is a school record. Overall, he totaled 23 touchdowns and over 3,100 yards from scrimmage.

Where exactly Heidenreich will play is obviously yet to be determined, but he leaps to the top of the list of players fans will be excited to watch during training camp and in the preseason.
