March 25, 2023
The Steelers brought in Schmitz for a visit Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Schmitz is one of the top center prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft and is projected as a potential first-round pick. The multi-year starter earned All-Big Ten honors over each of his final three seasons at Minnesota, and he was named a first-team AP All-American in 2022 after paving the way for standout Gophers running back Mohamed Ibrahim. Schmitz is also scheduled to visit with the Vikings and Jets ahead of April's draft, as he'll be on the radar of almost every team in need of a starting center ahead of the 2023 campaign.
