The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed another Buckeye.
The Steelers announced Monday that they had signed former Ohio State offensive lineman Malcolm Pridgeon. He joins two of his former Ohio State teammates that have also signed with the Steelers this offseason – quarterback Dwayne Haskins and tight end Marcus Baugh – as well as defensive line stalwart Cam Heyward as Buckeyes on the Steelers' roster.
Pridgeon, who spent three years with Ohio State (2016-18) and was the Buckeyes' starting left guard for the entire 2018 season, has not yet played in an NFL regular-season game since going undrafted in 2019. He previously spent time with both the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns, but was released by the Browns in February after opting out of the 2020 season, a decision he made after his mother died from COVID-19.
He had been unsigned since he was released by the Browns, but he'll now get a chance in Pittsburgh to show what he can do and try to earn his way onto an NFL roster this preseason.
