On his weekly Chipped Ham and Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Iowa Hawkeyes football coach and Upper St. Clair native Kirk Ferentz to get some scouting reports on his former players who will wear a different black-and-gold uniform in 2025.

What can Kaleb Johnson contribute to the backfield as a third-round pick in the NFL draft? Especially amid competition for carries with names like Jaylen Warren, Trey Sermon and Kenneth Gainwell? How can Yahya Black -- a fifth round pick -- complement names like Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton on the defensive line? Can undrafted Sebastian Castro make the team at safety next to names like Minkah Fitzpatrick, DeShon Elliott and Juan Thornhill? And what can we expect from 2024 draft pick Logan Lee, another Iowa product who lost much of his rookie season to injury? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
