The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed running back Trey Sermon according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.

The former third-round pick worked out with the Steelers on a tryout basis during the team’s rookie minicamp and will now have a chance to earn a spot on the 53-man roster this summer.  Sermon ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns on 56 carries as a Colt last season while averaging an underwhelming 2.8 YPC.

Sermon will face an uphill battle to make the Steelers’ roster with Cordarrelle Patterson and free agent signee Kenneth Gainwell presumably set to serve as the RB3 and RB4 behind Kaleb Johnson and Jaylen Warren.
