Redskins Sign Former Steelers First-Round Draft Pick Ziggy Hood

A former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick has found a new home as of Tuesday.

According to the Washington Post, the Washington Redskins have signed defensive lineman Ziggy Hood, who started his NFL career with the Steelers after being selected 32nd overall in the 2009 NFL Draft out of Missouri.

After spending his first five seasons in the league with the Steelers as a 3-4 defensive end, Hood signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2014 to play defensive tackle in their 4-3 defense.
