The Pittsburgh Steelers sign undrafted free agent running back Gary Russell
Gary Russell only played one season of college football because of academic problems. That year was 2005 for the Minnesota Golden Gophers and he did a good job for them. He carried the football 186 times for 1,130 yards (6.1 ypc) with 18 TD runs. He also caught 16 passes for 168 yards (10.5 avg) with a TD catch. Russell is more of a power back as he’s not very elusive or overly fast (4.6 40). He definately will have a good chance to make the Steelers as long as he’s smart enough to learn the playbook.
