The Steelers drafted nine players over the weekend, but they weren’t done shopping. On Sunday, the Steelers announced the signings of eight undrafted free agents:
- WR Rico Bussey (Hawaii)
- WR Isaiah McKoy (Kent State)
- S Lamont Wade (Penn State)
- S Donovan Stiner (Florida)
- CB Shakur Brown (Michigan State)
- CB Mark Gilbert (Duke)
- LB Jamar Watson (Kentucky)
- LB Calvin Bundage (Oklahoma State)
Brown is among the more notable players in this bunch. After earning first-team All-Big Ten honors, Brown declared early with the expectation that’d be selected in Round 4 or 5. Instead, he watched as 250+ players heard their names called. Still, he’s likely secured a better-than-average UDFA signing bonus from the Steelers. Last year, Brown notched five interceptions in just seven games. For his Spartan career, Brown finished with 54 stops, two tackles for a loss, two sacks, 16 pass defenses, and one touchdown across 26 games.
