Just minutes after the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they were placing Ryan Shazier on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, they announced they filled his roster spot on the 90-man roster with an undrafted rookie free agent (UDFA) from Texas named P.J. Locke.
Locke will have an easier path to a roster spot than those who play other positions, mainly due to the lack of depth behind Sean Davis and Terrell Edmunds. Throw in the fact the team ignored the position throughout the 7-round selection process and no safety should be counted out of this race.
