Some of the trades Kevin Colbert has made over the last decade simply haven’t worked out. Brandon Boykin? Looked good at the time. Real good. But it fell flat on its face. Justin Gilbert? Worth a shot, I guess. But definitely didn’t work out. J.J. Wilcox? Swing and a miss.
Acquiring Ryan Switzer might not turn out to be a home run but it’s a double into the gap. He’s been an asset to the team as a returner, receiver, and even occasional runner. It’s been a bumpy road for him, traded twice since entering the NFL in 2017, but in his mind, Pittsburgh couldn’t have been a better landing spot.
