If you followed our Pittsburgh Steelers draft recap series, looking back on the team’s 10 most recent drafts dating back to 2005, you may have picked up on a comment that I made in the 2009 draft, during which the team drafted guard Kraig Urbik in the third round, but signed Ramon Foster as an undrafted free agent.
In 2009, Foster dressed for 14 games and played in several of them, starting four games, while Urbik spent the year on the bench as an inactive. A year later, Foster started eight of the 12 games in which he was healthy, while Urbik failed to make the roster.
