The Pittsburgh Steelers first-year players began their NFL journey on the field this weekend at the team’s rookie minicamp. The weekend, though, was also an opportunity for a dozen players to try and make the Steelers offseason roster. Among the list of candidates was former Pitt linebacker Brandon George.
The Steelers announced their tryout players for their rookie minicamp Friday. The list included George, along with three other former Pitt players and three other linebackers.
Another local college player — Penn State punter Gabriel Nwosu — was also on the list.
A Reading, Pennsylvania native, George played at Pitt from 2019-24. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs last May.
The last day of the Steelers rookie minicamp will be May 10. The camp was scheduled for May 8-10.
