Steelers Sign RB Jeremy Wright, Release K Daniel Hrapmann

The team announced that they have signed Running Back Jeremy Wright today. Daniel Hrapmann was released to make room on the roster.

Wright was signed by the Giants as an UDFA this spring after declaring for the draft early. He was waived by them in June. Wright is 5’11”, 205 pounds. During his last season at Louisville, he totalled 824 yards with 211 rushes with 10 touchdowns. He was used in the kickoff return game there as well, with an avg of 25 yards per return after 40 returns. He’ll wear #37 during his time here.

Hrapmann, who many fans hoped would replace Shaun Suisham last year, was released during the first round of cuts last August. There wasn’t much danger to Suisham’s job this preseason, and Hrapmann was an expected roster cut later this month. He was listed on the AFL’s New Orleans Voodoo roster this past season.
