Don't know much about this guy other than what was written in the article. His measurables are very intriguing. Appears to be very raw but worth a look at some point.

 

I like him quite a bit. Not the biggest hitter on the block considering his size, but a very cerebral player.

 

I like this guy too. Has played a variety of positions on offense and defense, so the skills are there. Like the article says, if he can get some defense focused training, he could be an intriguing player. Steelers already have a taller prospect as safety in Jacob Hagen (6'3", 205) who I liked out of Liberty last year, so they could give McEvoy a shot too. Probably a UDFA after the draft, but worth the time imo.

 

I thought they cut Hagan?

 

The article says he "tackles like an offensive player." Now that Blake is gone, there is an opening in the Steelers secondary for that type of player.

 

They signed him after the season was over IIRC. He'll be here for TC unless I missed the transaction. He was on the roster on Steelers.com though.

 

That means they see something with him. Has good measurables too. Keeping my fingers cross he shows something in camp. Would love for him to give us a pleasant problem of having too much good play at that position.
