We have been able to compile a small list of players the Steelers met and had interviews with at the 2011 NFL Combine from sources like Steel City Insider, KFFL, Twitter, Facebook and various other blogs and media outlets. While this list should not serve for anything more than what it is and that is a list of reported meetings. The Steelers were permitted to meet with 60 players at the combine for 15 minutes at a time according to reports. Sort of like speed dating. Players were not obligated to reveal who they met with and many teams will ask that they not reveal it, but of course some players reveal it if asked. All NFL teams are permitted to visit with 30 college players in advance of the 2011 NFL Draft not counting players who are considered local to a particular team. This is often done at the teams offices.
Below is the small list with players combine results and stats along with links to their NFL profile page. I will update this list as more names leak out. You can see the full 2011 NFL Combine Results here.
