    Steelers never hop on chances like this but they should. What do you think?

    Seems to be having problems learning it also appears he did some cheating in College ...I wonder if he is one of those kids who just got passed along because of their play ? It seems he may be..If so it will take him awhile to catch on to the mental part of the game ..He is a bit small to play outside , but he could make a good inside CB if he can learn the game ??

    I would sign him to the practice squad , but I think it will take at least 2 or 3 seasons before he will be ready to play ...Probably the reason he got cut..By the time you get him ready his contract will be about up...Still worth the gamble for a practice squad , but not worth a 53 man spot from what i can gather...

    I think you honestly have to take a look at the guy. Here is a 2nd or 3rd round talent CB who a team just waived. I think you at least work him out. No harm in doing that.

    I remember considering him in our mock draft.... but if he's getting released at this point there's probably a big problem. No thanks.

    PS won't effect the team. Chiefs are very deep in the secondary. The fact they drafted him in the 3rd and we are essentially getting a 3rd round pick for free makes me want the Steelers to jump on it. I'm sure every team in the league is trying to get him on their PS though.

    He seems best suited for the slot. Considering Senquez cannot stay healthy.. I see no harm in at least bringing him in.

    Id be surprised if he made it to us after clearing waivers honestly... Too many teams wanting to jump on a supposed pick/talent number theme.

    He did have an injury and missed the last two games in 2015 with a fractured Tibia, he was still healing on his pro day, but still ran a 4.47 40, maybe he was just a little shy in camp because of his leg injury, the chiefs drafted 3 corners and maybe he is just a numbers cut, I say bring him in and have a look, you know andy reid isnt going to give any team the inside scoop on him, he had a decent 3 year career at Notre Dame and is worth a look.....

    lmao they probably think we wanted him. I truly believe both Bengals and Ravens are obsessive about the Steelers. Like when someone gets dumped and becomes obsessive over their ex.
