Perhaps the most impressive defensive lineman on the first day of the NFL Scouting Combine was Pitt’s Calijah Kancey. Kancey’s huge performance and physical stature drew comparisons to Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and places him squarely in the first-round discussion of the 2023 NFL draft.
This also means he is squarely on the radar of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So let’s take a look at where Kancey would fit with the Steelers. Kancey had some interesting measurables on Thursday. Kancey checked in at 6-foot-1, 281 pounds, arm length of 30 5/8’,’ hand size of 9 1/8’. Kancey also ran a 4.67-second 40-yard dash, the best by the defensive tackle since 2003.
