Josh Dobbs might not be the smartest man in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room anymore. But if there’s a new teammate to nerd out with, he should hit up Matthew Wright.
Wright, a kicker from UCF and fellow aerospace engineer, was one of ten initial undrafted free agents the Steelers signed last Saturday. That gives Pittsburgh three kickers on the roster, one of two teams in the league with that many (Chicago the other), as part of Art Rooney II’s mandate to straighten out the kicking game. Literally.
Wright wasn’t ranked high on anyone’s draft sheet, 19th by Draft Scout and 31st via Draft Countdown, he carved out a successful career for the Golden Knights.
