When the Pittsburgh Steelers came together for their rookie minicamp, they brought in a couple of veteran players for tryouts. They signed CB Anthony Averett fairly quickly afterward and then signed RB Jonathan Ward Tuesday before the start of Organized Team Activities. So who is the Steelers’ newest running back?
First NFL Touch, First Career Touchdown
Ward was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Arizona Cardinals in 2020. He appeared in 14 games that season, but he only recorded one offensive touch. It came in the Cardinals’ last game of the season against the Los Angeles Rams.
