X's & O's -- The Steelers didn't officially release their complete practice squad Sunday. Wide receiver Walter Young, guard Jim Jones, fullback Zach Tuiasosopo, linebacker Andre Frazier and defensive end Shaun Nua (No. 7a, Brigham Young) will be brought back to fill five of the up-to-eight spots the Steelers have available. The Steelers intended to bring No. 4 pick Fred Gibson, a wide receiver from Georgia, back onto the practice squad, but Gibson signed with Miami's practice squad. The Steelers also wanted center/guard Ben Claxton (first-year pro, Mississippi) to return on the practice squad, but he was claimed for a spot on the 53-man roster by Atlanta.

BTW- Look at what SI had to sya about him. What a sweet pickup.

BIO: Three-year starter who saw limited action with the first team as a freshman. All-Conference selection last year after posting 49/801/7. Has 10 100-yard career receiving games to his credit.

POSITIVES: Fluid pass catcher with excellent size/speed numbers. Solid route runner who is sharp into breaks and stays low on exit. Extends to snatch the ball from the air, quickly transitions to running after the catch and displays a burst of speed. Easily adjusts to the errant throw or gets down to scoop up the low pass. Deceptively fast and runs to the deep ball. Tracks the pass in the air, runs well laterally and shields opponents away with his frame. Nicely times receptions getting vertical to high point the ball. Possesses soft, sure hands.

NEGATIVES: Does not win out in battles like he should or hears footsteps then gathers into receptions. More built-up speed than sudden explosion. Loses focus, concentration and as a result drops a lot of catchable throws.

ANALYSIS: An athletic prospect with an abundant amount of natural ability, Gibson shows flashes of dominance on the field, yet has been spotty with his dedication to football. Possesses first-round skill and the ability to develop into a No. 1 receiver at the next level :banana: , yet must motivate himself and prove that he is willing to pay the price.
 
That's a big signing if you ask me. Basically we've gotten extra draft picks this year by getting guys like Gibson and Kyle Eckel.

Thanks, but how come this isn't listed anywhere else? And can't he be signed away if he was just signed to our PS?

thanks for the info paskerbrandon. At first, I thought he was another body signed to the PT for just regular day type of stuff, but after reading that on him, seems like a very well good move on Saban's part.

Eckel wasnt drafted but I get our point :tongue: .

BTW- No problem Phins1972, my pleasure. This is really a good signing, great job by Saban if this is in fact true.
