The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich with the No. 230 overall pick in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Heidenreich, a Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania native WHO played as a hybrid back and slot receiver at Navy, attended the draft in his Naval dress blues. Pittsburgh used its second seventh-round selection on Heidenreich to add late-round positional flexibility and special teams experience while giving a hometown player an NFL opportunity.
