Steelers contratam o center Greg Crippen após minicamp de novatos

O Pittsburgh Steelers adicionou o center novato Greg Crippen ao seu elenco após uma atuação de destaque no minicamp de novatos.

O setorista dos Steelers, Ray Fittipaldo, observou que membros da comissão técnica acompanharam o center de perto em uma sessão e pareceram impressionados. A equipe o contratou logo em seguida, integrando-o ao atual elenco de 90 jogadores, onde ele lutará por um papel de longo prazo.
