Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor was picked 21st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After Jordyn Tyson was picked 8th overall by the New Orleans Saints, Iheanachor makes two first-round Sun Devils in the same draft for the first time since when defensive back Adam Archuleta (No. 20 to St. Louis Rams) and tight end Todd Heap (No. 31 to Baltimore Ravens) were taken Day 1 in 2001.
His 21st-pick slotting is the highest for an ASU offensive lineman since Levi Jones went 10th to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2002.
Iheanachor saw his draft stock skyrocket after an impressive final collegiate season where he did not allow a sack across 484 pass-blocking snaps, with impressive showings at the Senior Bowl, NFL Draft Combine and ASU’s pro day.
