Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers hosted undrafted rookie wide receiver Ben Patterson for a workout Monday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to do their homework on free agent wide receivers Monday. Former Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Ben Patterson has become the latest potential addition.
According to the NFL transaction wire, the Steelers hosted Patterson for a tryout Monday.
Patterson went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He signed with the Jaguars following the draft. After spending spring workouts and about the first week of training camp in Jacksonville, the Jaguars waived Patterson on August 2.
Patterson played college football at Texas-Permian Basin, a small school in Odessa, Texas. At the program’s Pro Day, he ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds.
