The Pittsburgh Steelers used the second pick of the sixth round to select Iowa defensive tackle Logan Lee.

And now we know the contract details. It’s a four-year deal worth $4.246 million, with an average of $1.061 million. That’s according to Spotrac.com.

Lee acknowledged that he grew up a Steelers fan during post-draft interviews.

“I am beyond blessed,” Lee told reporters. The defensive tackle grew up in Orion, Illinois.

“I started really getting into the thick of the historical NFL stuff,” he said. “I just loved the Steel Curtain era stuff. (And) I loved watching Mel Blount slam people on their heads and stuff. I was always a big Steelers fan growing up.”

Lee earned honorable mention All-Big Ten, as selected by both the coaches and media, as a senior. He also was Academic All-Big Ten. He earbed the Hayden Fry “Extra Heartbeat” award for his play on the Iowa defense.

As a junior, he also earned awards for his play on the field and his work in the classroom. Overall, he played in 43 games, starting 41 of them, during his time in Iowa. He no doubt can help the Steelers defensive line.

Lance Zierlein, a draft analyst for NFL.com, gave this scouting report on the newest Steelers defensive lineman.

“Durable three-year starter as an undersized defensive tackle in the aggressive Iowa front,” Zielein writes. “Lee has the size and length of a 5-technique but might not possess enough twitch and power to control blockers from that spot. He has good strength but needs time to ramp it up and doesn’t have as many quick wins as teams will want.

“Lee’s pass rush is very pedestrian but could improve some with better hand work and training. He’s a hard worker but fails to stand out with power, quickness or pass-rush talent, which puts a firm cap on his upside.”
