Steelers Head Into Rookie Weekend With Full 90 Man Roster

The Steelers will hold rookie orientation this weekend (May 16th-18th), and after signing 9 undrafted free agents, they have filled all available roster spots. All NFL teams may carry a total of 90 players on their rosters during the off-season, and can maintain that number until mid-August when the limit drops to 75, and then ultimately to the final 53.

Below is the roster as it currently stands, minus the undrafted free agents.

Here is the list of confirmed undrafted free agents the team has signed, and will be attending rookie minicamp this weekend.

Chris Elkins, C, Youngstown State
Eric Waters, TE, Missouri
Josh Mauro, DE, Stanford
Howard Jones, OLB, Shepard
Kaycee Ike, OT, UAB
Brendan Kay, QB, Cincinnati
Ethan Hemer, DE Wisconsin
Will Simmons, OL, East Carolina
Roy Philon, DT, Louisville

Below are the reported (though unconfirmed) UDFA’s who have been invited to tryout with the team this weekend at the minicamp.

Mike Franklin, DL, Shepard
Devon Carrington, S, Stanford
Jake DeMedal, S, St. Francis
Dillon Baxter, RB, Baker
Jordan Hall, RB, Ohio State
Steve Greene, OL, UConn
Najja Johnson, CB, Buffalo
Adam Gress, OT, Penn State

That list is not all-inclusive of course. There are several other players who will be in attendance trying out for the team, who haven’t been disclosed yet. All in all, there should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 players present including the 9 men the Steelers drafted over the weekend.
