The Steelers have picked DE/DT Doug Worthington with the 242nd overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Worthington is a big guy at 6′5″, 292 pounds but he runs a 5.1 40.  Due to his lack of speed or pass rush ability the Steelers have to be thinking of using Worthington at DT.  He played in 13 games for the Buckeyes last season and he finished up with 45 tackles, 5 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 batted down passes.  Worthington played in 46 games in his four years at Ohio State and he finished up with 106 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, he batted down 3 passes, had 1 interception and he forced 1 fumble.  This was a reach for the Steelers as not many experts thought Worthington would get drafted.
