Behind the Steel Curtain
The Steelers added defensive tackle Anthony Goodlow to their practice squad, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday, citing Goodlow’s agent Hector Ruiz.
Pittsburgh hasn’t officially announced the move or any corresponding roster transactions yet. Pittsburgh does currently have an open spot on its practice squad.
Goodlow went undrafted in 2024 out of Oklahoma State University. The 6’5, 300-pound defender recorded 27.5 tackles for loss and 15 sacks over his collegiate career.
He’s spent time with the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals in the NFL. Goodlow appeared in three games last season for LA, recording three total tackles and tackle for loss.
“Goodlow has good size and great length but is much more eventual than sudden in his movements,” NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein wrote in a 2024 scouting report. “He rarely wins in gaps and is unable to create early threats as an upfield rusher. He’s not a natural knee-bender, so he has a hard time setting a firm anchor at the point of attack. He does have the natural strength to battle and strain. Goodlow is below average as a reduced rusher inside, so he might have to compete for as a backup spot as an odd-front defensive end to make a squad.”
