Steelers Sign WR Danny Coale To Futures Contract

The Steelers have signed WR Danny Coale to a reserve/futures contract. Coale, 6′ 0″, 190 lbs, was originally drafted by the Cowboys in the 5th round of the 2012 draft. The former Virginia Tech receiver spent time on the Cowboys and Colts’ practice squads last year.

Scouts touted Coale abilities as a possession receiver coming out of college, with his route understanding being one of his strong points. Blocking was one of his weaknesses, particularly in the run game. He’s had a couple years to work on that in the NFL though, so we’ll see how he’s come along in that regard.
