Georgia football players drafted by Pittsburgh since 1993

2013 – LB Jarvis Jones, Round 1
2023 – OL Broderick Jones, Round 1
2001 – LB Kendrell Bell, Round 2
2022 – WR George Pickens, Round 2
1993 – WR Andre Hastings, Round 3
1998 – WR Hines Ward, Round 3
2023 – TE Darnell Washington, Round 3
2005 – WR Fred Gibson, Round 4
2002 – RB Verron Haynes, Round 5
2003 – RB J.T. Wall, Round 7

Ten players, two in round one, two in round two. Beyond seeing a number of high draft picks, there are a few Super Bowl rings and one sure-fire Hall of Famer on that list. Of course, the risk of a bust such as Jarvis Jones is always there.
