02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Pittsburgh Steelers primarily run a traditional 3-4 two-gap front, often utilizing multiple defensive linemen who can play across the interior and sometimes outside.

3-4 DE5-tech endInterior Rusher
Best role

Initially a rotational 3-4 defensive end, eventually developing into an impactful starter due to his versatility and power.

Wrong fit

A weak-side defensive end in a wide-9 front that prioritizes speed and bend off the edge, rather than power and interior disruption.

Leal's size and strength make him a natural fit for the Steelers' scheme, allowing him to contribute early even as he refines his technique.

04The evaluation

Selected #84 overall in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Texas A&M.
