2 more picks sign

[Big]

PITTSBURGH — The Steelers signed two more draft picks today from this year’s NFL Draft, including offensive tackle Chris Scott and cornerback Crezdon Butler. Financial terms of the three-year deals were not disclosed.

Scott (6-4, 319), out of Tennessee, was the Steelers’ first of three fifth-round picks (151st overall) in this year’s Draft. Scott started the final 39 games of his career at left tackle and helped the Vols’ offense average 157 rushing yards per game and 383 total yards per game in 2009.

Butler (6-0, 191) was the second of three fifth-round selections (164th overall) in this year’s NFL Draft. Butler was an honorable mention all-ACC honoree in 2009 as Clemson finished sixth in the NCAA in pass defense. He started the final 40 games of his career and finished his career with 11 interceptions.

The Steelers now have eight of their 10 draft picks from this year’s NFL Draft signed to contracts. First-round offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey and second-round linebacker Jason Worilds are the two Steelers’ draft picks who have yet to sign a contract.

The Steelers released rookie free agent Da’Mon Cromartie-

I agree Pete. While right now he is only doing it in shorts, I really think he can be a good CB for us.

So very true! The FO does an amazing job of making sure the rookies get signed prior to training camp. Now Omar Khan just needs to make it happen for Pouncey and Worilds.
