UDFA out of Toledo. Tore his ACL his senior year, went undrafted, tried out for a couple teams, finally landed with the Steelers, then went on to have the most sacks of any player this preseason (5) and made the initial 53 man roster. Steelers tried to sneak him through to the PS by waiving him on Saturday, but the Giants had an open roster spot and took advantage. Plays strong and angry. Steelers fans will know more than I do, but I think it is as good a pickup as we could have made for the state the team is in.

steelers made mistake letting this happen.  Giants got a player, not sure how he meshes with their scheme, but time will tell.  Maybe the steelers will make a trade for him later once they have injuries or give up on players:o

That seems to be the consensus from Steelers fans. Hopefully we have something here; we need all the defensive help we can get.

Skipper will actually be the only 2019 UDFA to be on our roster.
