There have been rumblings of Pittsburgh wanting to join the list of cities to host an NFL draft for months now, with an initial report that the NFL was scouting the city back in the fall to see if they would be fit for hosting:
Sources confirmed as much, with people close to the situation sayibg it was a matter of when, not if, Pittsburgh would be named a host city, something Steelers president and owner Art Rooney alluded to in a recent interview.
