The Pittsburgh Steelers signed David Johnson to a one-year contract on Tuesday and that now means the former seventh-round draft pick out of Arkansas should be able to make a legitimate run at a roster spot this summer.

For starters, the Steelers had time to get a good look at a few rookie undrafted free agent tight ends during their recent rookie minicamp before looking at experienced free agents.
