I’m sure it came to many as a surprise when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster cuts were announced several weeks ago and the name of Ray-Ray McCloud was not on it, not just because he was signed in the middle of training camp as a street free agent at a deep position, but also because he has had a relatively undistinguished career up to this point without substantial pedigree.
A sixth-round pick out of Clemson in 2018, he was originally drafted by the Buffalo Bills. He dressed for 10 games during his rookie season, functioning primarily as a return man, but made it through only one year.
