The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a move outside of the organization Thursday, adding tight end Justin Rigg to the practice squad, he announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
Rigg was a four-year letter winner at the University of Kentucky, where he played in 63 career games, starting 35 of them. In that timeframe, Rigg hauled in 50 career passes for 547 yards and five touchdowns in Kentucky, averaging 10.9 yards per catch. Last season, Rigg finished with 20 catches for 189 yards and four touchdowns, including two on Senior Day in a win over New Mexico State.
