2019 Steelers UDFA Player Profiles: Toledo EDGE Tuzar Skippper

With the 2019 NFL Draft in the books, we’re wrapping things up by offering player profiles on all the UDFAs signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The franchise’s history is strong with diamonds in the rough though in recent years, the classes have been weak. Hopefully this crop changes that trend.

The Bad

  • Generally adequate quickness at the snap
  • Misses with his hands (chops, swipes) in pass rush too often
