Steelers roster spotlight: What to expect from Daylen Everette as a rookie
As the Pittsburgh Steelers move closer to the 2026 season, we’re taking a closer look at every player on the roster, with CB Daylen Everette up next.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have secured cornerback Daylen Everette in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and they are eager to see how he performs in his rookie season. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 196 pounds, Everette is 22 years old and will bring a wealth of collegiate experience from his time at Georgia (2022-2025).
After impressing during his time at practice, the Steelers have placed Everette in a top backup cornerback role based on their 2026 depth chart. With questions swirling around the future of Joey Porter Jr., Everette could quickly find himself stepping into a significant role. As the preseason unfolds and the regular season approaches, Steelers Wire will continue to closely monitor Everette's progress and evaluate his potential contributions to the team.
