Due to the success of our Preseason Guide, we decided to handcraft a special Preseason “Welcome” Guide, that is, an eBook dedicated to informing Steelers Nation of all of the newly signed players wearing a Steelers uniform this season. Once again the Steelers only dipped their toes into free agency, so while there aren’t many new faces, there are quite a few who could have an immediate impact on the team; including Pittsburgh’s first three draft picks. Our guide will begin with free agent signings, followed by the 2016 NFL Draft selections. Other notable players in camp, if included, are listed after those subsets of players. (Note: due to the nature of “camp bodies,” or, players who are on the 90 man offseason roster, but unlikely to be in contention for a spot on the active roster and/or practice squad after the preseason, their names have not been includ- ed, but may be added as position battles heat up, so stayed tuned for updates to this guide as the preseason progress- es.
