Steelers trade up to draft WR Germie Bernard, No. 47

sportsApr 24, 202635205

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up with the Indianapolis Colts to select Alabama wide receiver Germie Bernard at No. 47 overall in Round 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bernard measures 6-1 1/4 and 206 pounds, finished his Alabama career making several late-game catches, and Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said Pittsburgh will use him both inside and outside and on kick returns. Bernard posted a 9.07 RAS, ranking 393rd of 4,196 receivers measured, and gives the Steelers a big-slot, short-area target who can contribute immediately to the passing game and special teams.

No. 47, Pittsburgh Steelers: Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama It's a hefty price to move up, but this was another underrated prospect-team fit. Bernard is a connector, does dirty work over the middle of the field and is uber reliable. Very nice No. 3 for their room

Germie Bernard is not that big, fast or nifty. But he’s a capital-F Football Player who could end up gobbling up underneath targets and becoming a quarterback’s security blanket. (Steelers) miketanier.substack.com/i/192874257/...
