Leave a reply

While the team hasn’t officially announced it yet, Ed Bouchette reports that the Steelers have signed LB Dan Molls and DB Devin Smith to reserve/futures contracts. Molls confirms it on his Twitter account.

Molls is a 6’0, 238 lb ILB who signed with the Chargers last spring as an UDFA out of Toledo, but didn’t make their final roster. Molls was touted as a run stopper in college, and was the nation’s leading tackler in 2012 with 166.

Devin Smith was originally signed by the Cowboys as an UDFA and later signed with the Steelers during training camp. The team added him to the practice squad at times throughout the 2013 season. He’s considered a solid special teamer. You can see his coming’s and going’s here: http://thesteelersfans.com/?s=Devin+Smith

The team announced that they have re-signed CB Devin Smith to the practice squad. Smith was originally signed by the team in August and released during the final preseason roster cuts. He was then signed to the practice squad, but waived a few days later.

Smith (5’10” 182) was released in August by the Cowboys, who originally signed him as an UDFA in April. He was not invited to the Combine, but ran a 4.49 40yd at his pro day at Wisconsin.  Smith was viewed as a nickel corner by scouts, and was said to be a strong Special Teams player who could fill in at Safety.
