The Pittsburgh Steelers pick OLB/DE Jason Worilds in the 2nd round
The Steelers picked OLB/DE Jason Worilds out of Virginia Tech in the second round (52nd pick) of the NFL Draft. Worilds is probably too small to be an end in the NFL unless he puts on some weight. But, he is the classic Steelers’ type of player as he is big and fast standing at 6’0″, 260 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40. He played in 13 games (all starts) at Virginia Tech last season and he made 49 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, had 4.5 sacks and he broke up 1 pass. Worilds played in 41 games (25 starts) in his four years at Va. Tech and he finished up with 132 tackles, 34 tackles for a loss, 15 sacks and he broke up 2 passes. Worilds will have to adjust to playing without a hand on the ground and that could take some time. It was little shock to see the Steelers draft a player with the skill set of Worilds in the second round.
