Graham, who had been identified as the frontrunner for the vacant defensive coordinator post, flew to Pittsburgh on Thursday to interview with the organization.
The development was reported by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, who indicated an agreement is expected to be finalized soon.
Graham’s candidacy is anchored in his Packers background, and the move would add another familiar face from Green Bay to the Steelers’ staff as McCarthy continues to shape the unit.
The Steelers have been assembling their defensive leadership, with several Green Bay connections linked to the process as they finalize plans for the role.
More updates are expected as Pittsburgh works toward a formal decision on its defensive coordinator, with this hiring shaping the direction of the unit next season.
