The Pittsburgh Steelers bring back Najeh Davenport
Due to injuries to Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall the Steelers have to add a back and brought Najeh Davenport back into the fold. He played in 15 games (1 start) for the Steelers last season and he carried the ball 107 times for 499 yards (4.7 ypc) with 5 TD runs. He also caught 18 passes for 184 yards (10.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs last year. Davenport’s main duty in his first game (against the Jaguars Sunday Night) will be to return kickoffs so that Mewelde Moore can concentrate on offense. Davenport returned 7 kickoffs for 123 yards (17.6 avg) last season which isn’t great but the Steelers were very lucky that no team picked Davenport up after they cut him. This was a great signing for them.
