Asante Samuel Jr. cuts free-agency tour short to sign with Steelers
NY Post
The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting much-needed reinforcements for their secondary.
Asante Samuel Jr, a former second-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2021, is signing with the Steelers after being cleared to resume football activities as a result of undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April.
Samuel Jr. will start on the Steelers’ practice squad and could force his way into the rotation at cornerback before long, according to ESPN.
The 26-year-old had six interceptions over his first three NFL seasons before his 2024 season was cut short due to an injury that was initially reported as a stinger in both shoulders.
The son of former four-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champion Asante Samuel reportedly also visited the 49ers, Packers, Panthers, Vikings and Bears.
