The Pittsburgh Steelers
have signed
second-round pick Germie Bernard
after selecting the Alabama wide receiver with the 47th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Pittsburgh entered the draft looking to add another young playmaker to its offense, and Bernard quickly became one of the team's favorite options during the pre-draft process. The former Alabama receiver brings speed, versatility, and strong route-running ability to a Steelers offense that emphasized adding more explosiveness this offseason.

During his time at Alabama, Bernard developed into one of the more reliable receivers in the SEC, producing both as an outside target and from the slot. His ability to create separation and generate yards after the catch helped boost his draft stock throughout the 2025 college football season.
The Steelers hosted Bernard for a pre-draft visit earlier in the offseason, signaling the organization's strong interest well before draft weekend. Once he remained available in the second round, Pittsburgh wasted little time making the selection.
Bernard now joins a young offensive core in Pittsburgh and is expected to compete for immediate playing time during training camp. His versatility could allow the Steelers to move him around the formation early in his career as they continue building the offense around more speed and athleticism.
