| 0:00.0 | With their third round pick of 84 overall, the Pittsburgh Steelers select defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal out of Texas A&M. |
| 0:07.8 | This being the third pick of the draft for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they now have their first defensive player of the draft. |
| 0:13.7 | They all addressing a good need for the Steelers on the defensive line. |
| 0:18.5 | Now, the question is, where will Leal play for the Pittsburgh Steelers? |
| 0:22.9 | At 6'4, 283 pounds, Leal is a larger-sized defensive lineman. |
| 0:28.6 | But at Texas A&M, he primarily played on the edge, especially in his last season with |

| 1:09.4 | Pittsburgh Steelers and trying to find a place for DeMarvin Leale, but they will find a place. It'll just be about where he feels the |
| 1:16.2 | most comfortable. Will he be a guy who kind of backs up the edge rusher position coming off the |
| 1:21.2 | bench behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Will he be a guy that rotates in behind Cam Hayward, |
| 1:26.8 | potentially Stefan |
| 1:27.6 | Tuitt and Tyson Olu and Montreveus Adams and those guys? All those questions still need to be |
| 1:33.3 | answered, but Steelers did need to add to their defensive line group. However, I offer you this |
