The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to host some 2026 NFL Draft prospects for official visits, and that now officially includes Illinois defensive lineman James Thompson and Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Louis.
According to the Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo, Thompson and Louis are at the South Side facility for visits Thursday, marking the eighth and ninth players the Steelers have hosted so far in the pre-draft process.
Louis does not count against the 30 allowed visits as he is a local product. He’s now the second local product to visit the Steelers, joining Penn State tight end Khalil Dinkins.
Thompson posted on his Instagram Wednesday that he was in Pittsburgh, signaling a visit with the Steelers.
