The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing former West Virginia OT/OG Doug Nester to their practice squad, per his agent Brett Tessler.
Nester is a big body at 6066 and 308 pounds. He spent time with the Minnesota Vikings this preseason, and per Tessler, he had multiple practice squad offers. He played in 57 games with 52 starts at West Virginia and participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
The Steelers also had interest in Nester pre-draft, as he told Justin Melo of The Draft Network that they were one of the teams he met with during the process.
