NFL Draft

Celebrating Pittsburgh Pride Ahead of the NFL Draft
This project highlights 15 outstanding PPS alumni who were drafted into the NFL—an achievement that reflects years of dedication, resilience, and hard work. While many more PPS graduates have gone on to play professionally, these individuals represent those who heard their names called on draft day.
A special thank you to Pittsburgh Obama teacher Joseph Ehman for organizing this meaningful recognition alongside an incredible group of student leaders:
Zaire Howze Jetter
Elijah Rawlings
Viola Aderholt
Jeanette Murray
Diori Cervantes
All seniors, and all playing a role in preserving and celebrating this powerful history.
