Making the call:It's not known yet who the Steelers will select in the 2025 NFL Draft, but there is one thing that is known.

Who will announce those selections.

As traditionally has been the case, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce the team's first-round pick, the 21st overall.

After that, it's a mix of those who make up Steelers Nation.

Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann will be in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the site of the 2025 NFL Draft, to announce the Steelers third round-pick.

Swann was a member of the legendary 1974 Steelers Draft, taken in the first round in a draft class that produced five Hall of Famers.

"The Steelers called and made the pick," said Swann, recalling his draft day. "I didn't know much about Pittsburgh at the time. I knew they wore black and gold, and I thought that was a great color combination. I knew they didn't throw the ball a lot. I wasn't a fan of watching a lot of football, only playing, so I am glad I went to the Steelers."

Steelers legend Brett Keisel, who was part of the Steelers Super Bowl XL and XLIII Super Bowl Championship teams, will be in attendance for the Steelers Draft Party at Croke Park in Ireland, and he will announce one of the team's picks. This is the first Draft Party the team is hosting in Ireland, as they will play a regular season game at Croke Park during the 2025 season.

"It's a great honor to do this," said Keisel. "There's a lot of work that goes into the draft, not only from a player's perspective, but also the organization's perspective. The Steelers really try to develop their team through the draft and get good, young players that they can teach and mold into really strong professionals.

"So, it's a great honor to be able to make a pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers, my team, I love that team. I'm so grateful that they drafted me in 2002."

In addition, Tom McCormack, the Steelers International Fan of the Year, will also announce one of the selections on the third day of the draft. McCormack, who is from Dublin, Ireland, was thrilled earlier this year when he received the news that he was the team's International Fan of the Year.

"I was absolutely speechless," said McCormack of winning the International Fan of the Year. "I got pretty emotional. I have been to the Steelers watch parties they have hosted here in Dublin. But I didn't expect this.

"I love the game. I love the Steelers. I love the city. I just want to bring more people here to see the Steelers."
