Word Of Caution: Signing Bonuses And Agent Spin

An interesting and unexpected storyline came out of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ undrafted free agent class following their the conclusion of Saturday’s draft. In recent years, Pittsburgh’s classes have been underwhelming. But this year, the team made at least one signing that caught my attention, inking Duke RB Mataeo Durant to a UDFA deal. The signing itself isn’t that surprising. Kevin Colbert might have been the only GM to attend his Pro Day where Durant blazed a high 4.3’s-low 4.4’s 40. He had a strong Blue Devils’ career and can catch the ball out of the backfield, making him an attractive option.
