As we\u2019ve done in previous years, we\u2019re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under Reserve\/Futures contracts for the 2025 offseason \u2014 the ones who spent most of, if not the entire year, on the practice squad \u2014 and what we can expect from them during training camp and (hopefully) into the regular season. Today, an outlook on LB Devin Harper.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s any current Pittsburgh Steelers most familiar with new linebackers coach Scott McCurley, it\u2019s Devin Harper. Before he was with Pittsburgh, Harper was in Dallas, drafted by the Cowboys in 2022 when McCurley served as the team\u2019s linebackers coach.<\/p>\n

Before the NFL, there was Oklahoma State. Harper wasn\u2019t the biggest player but productive, posting 96 tackles (11 for a loss) and six sacks in 2021, his final year with the Cowboys. A Combine snub, he turned heads at his Pro Day running a 4.50 40 with a 40-inch vertical, and 6.84 three-cone. His RAS was a sterling 9.51.<\/p>\n

Devin Harper was drafted with pick 193 of round 6 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.51 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 120 out of 2419 LB from 1987 to 2022. https:\/\/t.co\/dHSFdUnuEA<\/a> #RAS<\/a> #Cowboys<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RgVtI5zRWc<\/a><\/p>\n
