Former Texas A&M DE DeMarvin Leal was traded to OLB by the Pittsburgh Steelers

During Mike Elko’s first stint in College Station as Texas A&M defensive coordinator, 10 of his players were drafted into the NFL.

One of those breakout stars was defensive end DeMarvin Leal, who was selected in the third round of the 2022 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Looking ahead to next season, Leal has been moved to outside linebacker.

“He’s always been an athletic kid. He’s more attentive in meetings,” Steelers defensive line coach Karl Dunbar told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “You see it here. He’s learned both positions — defensive end and outside linebacker. You can see the productivity on the field is starting to show up.”

Leal has appeared in 23 games, six of them starts, in two years. The San Antonio native has recorded 29 tackles, 4 pass deflections and 1 sack.

“For me it’s now,” Leal said. “I wouldn’t say it’s now or never for the season, but it’s now for me.”
