LEXINGTON — All-SEC defensive lineman Calvin Taylor has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent.

Taylor was one of 10 rookie free agent signings announced by the Steelers after the draft.

At 6-foot-9, 311 pounds, Taylor developed into a key member of Kentucky's defensive line as one of the tallest players in program history.

He ranked second in the Southeastern conference in sacks (8.5) as a senior, capping a remarkable rise from unranked recruit to third-team All-SEC selection by Athlon and Phil Steele.
