The Pittsburgh Steelers swapped one Prince for another yesterday amid of flurry of 10 separate transactions stemming from their rookie minicamp held over the weekend, consisting of five players being waived and five more replacing them. While 2017 seventh-round outside linebacker Keion Adams was the most recognizable name among those let go, second behind him would be R.J. Prince.
Prince first came to the Steelers as a rookie minicamp tryout invitee last season out of North Carolina, and his departure might arguably be even more surprising. It was believed that the coaching staff was high on him, and the fact that he spent the entire year on the practice squad seemed to support that notion.
