Steelers: Holliman is the diamond in the rough the secondary needs

It took the Pittsburgh Steelers and seventh round draft selection Gerod Holliman a month to agree on a rookie contract, but the deal is finally done. The four year, $2.34M deal will keep the interesting prospect with the Steelers until after the 2018 season.

Seventh round players arent expected to hit the field and be an immediate impact by any means, but shouldnt just fill a roster spot, either. With that deep of a draft selection its usually a toss up. You can end up with a Brett Keisel from time to time, but normally you have to settle for a Dallas Baker or a Doug Worthington.
