Steelers sign undrafted center Greg Crippen after rookie minicamp

The Pittsburgh Steelers have added rookie center Greg Crippen to their roster following a standout performance at rookie minicamp. The undrafted Michigan product was the only tryout player signed from the event. He will now compete for a spot on the 90-man roster throughout the summer.

Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo observed that staff members watched the center closely in one session and appeared impressed. The team signed him shortly afterward, moving him onto the current 90-man roster where he will battle for a longer-term role.
