Steelers | 15 undrafted rookies added Tue Jul 26, 01:55 PM
The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free-agents RB John Clay (Wisconsin), TE Weslye Saunders (South Carolina), WR Terrence McCrae (Ohio University), TE Vaughn Charlton (Temple), WR Armand Robinson (Miami, Ohio), WR Adam Mims (Furman), C Colin Miller (Central Michigan), OT Trevis Turner (Abilene Christian), S Brett Greenwood (Iowa), CB Niles Brinkley (Wisconsin), OLB Eric Clanton (Citadel), LB Mario Harvey (Marshall), DE Miguel Chavis (Clemson), DT Anthony Gray (Southern Mississippi) and WR Eric Greenwood (Idaho).
| Footballguys view: Saunders is a big play TE who can get upfield in a hurry. He could make the team because he's a good athlete who creates mismatches when he's on the field. Clay is a big back who lacks the suddenness to change direction smoothly. It's doubtful he makes the final roster unless he can show better initial burst. |
