Report: Steelers To Have Pre Draft Visit With San Diego St. WR Vincent Brown



Adam Caplan of Foxsports.com reported via Twitter that the Steelers are expected to have San Diego St. wide receiver Vincent Brown in for a pre draft visit tomorrow. Brown measured in at 5 foot 11 and 1/4 at the NFL Combine where he had a rough showing. He had hoped to run the 40 in the 4.4 or low 4.5 range, but instead ran in the high 4.6, low 4.7 range and his draft stock dropped because of it. He improved his time to the high 4.5 range at his Pro Day in late March. Brown is currently projected as a mid round draft pick later this month.

Re: 2011 Official Visit Thread

Doing another Official Visit thread. Similar to last years [url="http://www.planetsteelers.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10999"]viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10999[/url] and the year before that [url="http://www.planetsteelers.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5926"]viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5926[/url] If you see a visit lined up for the Steelers please post the info here.

Players will be moved to Official once their visit has taken place. Also only visits to the south side will be counted here. Looking for the 30 official allowed. Other visits/meetings could be listed in the tread somewhere. Hawaiiansteel already posted a list of players interviewed at the Combine. Thanks to him for that!

UPDATED Page 1

Most or all of the Rumored visits have been said to be scheduled but we don't have any official confirmation. The players said they had visits scheduled with the team but no date was given. That is why they are still shown as rumor. Right now the lists have 40 players. 7 are local and 2 are individual workouts, not an official visit towards the 30.

Only 17 official visits this year?

The team has been more tight-lipped about who they have officially brought in this year. We have rumors about more than that (as indicated), but not actual confirmation in the Pittsburgh newspapers like in year's past, for whatever reason.

Yeah it's an odd year. More than likely has to do with the lockout and the Steelers not being able to fill some needs via Free Agency (signing their own really). Every year we typically go with BPA, but I'm thinking Colbert/Tomlin are staying quiet here due to the want to fill a need.

Which is why I think Bouchette is predicting Aaron Williams soley based on mock drafts and not what he's actually hearing this time around.

Re: 2011 Official Visit Thread

Interesting that Marcus Gilbert, Curtis Brown, and Cortez Allen all visited the South Side HQ prior to the draft. Plus Colbert, Tomlin, and LeBeau went to Columbus to check out Cam Heyward. Not too much smokescreenery this year...

Re: 2011 Official Visit Thread

According to Baron Batch, he was in for a visit. I will add him to the rumor list since we never received and official from the team.
