Steelers’ New Blocking Weapon? Riley Nowakowski Film Breakdown

The Steelers added Riley Nowakowski in the fifth round —r could he become a genuine offensive weapon? Si, Gav and Mark go deep into the tape on one of the more unusual picks in the Steelers’ draft class. Nowakowski arrives with a physical, old-school football profile: a hard-nosed blocker who can work as a tight end, H-back or fullback, contribute on special teams, and do the dirty work that helps an offence function. In this film breakdown, we look at: • Why Nowakowski’s blocking stands out on tape • His best role in the Steelers’ offence: tight end, H-back or fullback? • Whether he can offer something as a receiver and short-yardage option • His special-teams value and path to the 53-man roster • How he fits alongside the Steelers’ existing tight ends • Whether Pittsburgh found a useful late-round role player — or a genuinely versatile new weapon No lazy draft grades. Just proper tape study, Steelers debate and a look at what Riley Nowakowski can realistically become in Pittsburgh.
