Steelers Eye Hidden Gem Garrett Nussmeier: Could This Mock Draft Pick Change Their Future?
Round 7, Pick 230: TE Matthew Hibner, SMU
The Steelers released Jonnu Smith, who was part of Pittsburgh’s three-headed rotation at tight end, ahead of free agency. They also lost their H-back – a role that combines the responsibilities of a tight end and full back – Connor Heyward to the Las Vegas Raiders and could stand to add a replacement for his well-rounded skill set.
Hibner (6-4, 251 pounds) logged 55 catches for 804 yards and eight touchdowns during his two seasons at SMU. He’s on the older side at 24, but the Steelers won’t mind if he can carve out a role as a third-string tight end and H-back.
