2024 NFL draft: WR Malachi Corley in Pittsburgh to meet with Steelers

On Tuesday, Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley posted on his Instagram Story that he was in Pittsburgh. With it being highly unlikely he was just in town for a little vacation, it’s safe to assume Corley was having a Top 30 visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Corley is a fascinating prospect because his draft stock is tied to the scheme he’s drafted in and his role in an offense. In a system that gets Corley the football on the perimeter or quickly, Corley is a run-after-the-catch monster. He’s physical in his routes and works hard for every blade of grass.

He’s been compared to San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel by some pundits. Corley’s ceiling might be close to Samuel but he needs to work on his route tree to be an every-down receiver in most schemes. However, we can definitely see a lot of JuJu Smith-Schuster in his game, especially the physicality.
