Batko: UDFA QB John Rhys Plumlee Has ‘Puncher’s Chance’ To Make Steelers’ Roster

The undrafted free agent class for the Pittsburgh Steelers might be smaller compared to past seasons, but that doesn’t mean it won’t produce a player who cracks the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

West Virginia cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. is the odds-on favorite to be that guy coming out of the UDFA class, considering the Steelers’ need at the slot cornerback position, but for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko, don’t overlook UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee.

During an appearance on the “North Shore Drive” podcast from the Post-Gazette with host Christopher Carter, Batko stated that he believes Plumlee has a “puncher’s chance” to beat out veteran QB3 Kyle Allen and make the roster.
