The Pittsburgh Steelers added a player with local ties to their roster when they signed former Robert Morris safety Marcelis Branch to a reserve/future contract Thursday.
A Florida native, Branch was the male athlete of the year at Robert Morris for 2016-17 after a redshirt senior season in which he was named all-Northeast Conference for the third time. The 5-11, 180-pound Branch spent the 2017 season on the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad and went through training camp again with the Falcons last season before being cut.
The Steelers have some question marks at safety heading into 2019.
