Germie Bernard continues to look like a steal for the Pittsburgh Steelers after the organization drafted the former Alabama wide receiver in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the 47th overall pick.
CBS Sports NFL Draft writer, Josh Edwards recently named Bernard as an impact candidate who was drafted outside of the first round of this year’s draft. The Steelers’ head coach Mike McCarthy previously praised Bernard for his understanding of the position.
“Football comes easy to him,” McCarthy said. “His understanding is very high. Doesn’t blink. I love his demeanor. You can see why his versatility in college definitely carries over. I think he’s been an excellent fit for us.”
Bernard played two seasons with the Crimson Tide after transferring from Washington. He pulled in 64 receptions for 862 yards and seven touchdowns during his last season in Tuscaloosa.
The Las Vegas native is expected to be a solid option at wide receiver for Pittsburgh during the upcoming NFL season.
