The Pittsburgh Steelers selected offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor out of Western Michigan in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the 92nd overall pick.

Okorafor marks the third straight offensive player selected by the Steelers after they opened their draft by selecting safety Terrell Edmunds in the first round. The Western Michigan product likely won't start as a rookie but could be the successor to Marcus Gilbert at right tackle.
