Crawford, who came to the Mountaineers in 2016 after transferring from Miami, signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Aug. 23. It was announced just one day later that Antonio Crawford was waived from the team.

It’s a bizarre announcement, but that’s the case with business and politics in the NFL. Crawford was given a chance that so many football players dream about. He had that chance taken away from him before he could make any impact.

Antonio Crawford certainly made the most of his time with the Mountaineers. In that one season he helped the WVU football team to a 10-win season, playing cornerback on a solid defensive unit.
