The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Iowa offensive guard Gennings Dunker with the No. 96 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to @AdamSchefter.
The addition of Dunker marks a continued investment in the trenches for the Steelers, who utilized their third-round selection to bolster the interior of their offensive line. Dunker, a standout performer for the Hawkeyes, was widely regarded as a physical presence in the Big Ten, known for his strength and reliability in the run game. He joins a Pittsburgh roster that has prioritized physical, blue-collar talent upfront during recent draft cycles.
During his collegiate career at the University of Iowa, Dunker established himself as a key starter in a program historically renowned for developing professional-level offensive line talent. His transition to the NFL comes after a season where he earned significant praise for his pass protection and mobility as a puller. He is expected to compete for depth and a potential rotational role within the Steelers' offensive unit immediately.
