Every Steelers draft pick under Omar Khan and where they are now
Omar Khan is set to handle his fourth draft as general manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh will be a busy time for Khan and the Steelers. The team has 12 picks over the three-day event, which begins on Thursday. Khan took over for Kevin Colbert, who stepped down following the 2022 NFL draft. Khan previously was Pittsburgh's vice president of football and business administration.
Here's a look at every selection Khan has made with the Steelers since the 2023 NFL draft.
