Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Broderick Jones touched down in the Steel City on Friday, just hours after being selected with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Jones was greeted by a crowd — and cameras — taking pictures with fans outside of the gate of his flight in from Atlanta. He also posed with the Franco Harris Immaculate Reception statute at Pittsburgh International Airport.
Jones will get the traditional welcome to the city, with a limousine ride through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and to UMPC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, where he will hold his introductory press conference at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

Can you tell which one of us is the NFL player? What a thrill it was to welcome @Steelers No. 1 pick Broderick Jones when he landed in Pittsburgh today. I can't wait to watch him block for KP and Najee this fall #HereWeGo @millionairemov3 pic.twitter.com/iBLjRCvk6i
