Several weeks ago, the worst kept secret in Pittsburgh was that Karlos Williams was in town. Speculation ran wild that he was being looked at by the Steelers or perhaps he was just there to visit brother Vince Williams, a linebacker for the team. From the sounds of it, I think there was a little of both involved.
The Steelers signed Williams to their practice squad this week on a one-year deal for $82,000. With both Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams anchoring the top two running back spots and Fitzgerald Toussaint the third, making room for Williams on the 53-man roster wasn’t going to happen.
