POSITION. STEELERS ROOKIE MINICAMP HAS OFFICIALLY WRAPPED UP HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND ONE OF THOSE ROOKIES IS QUARTERBACK TANNER MORGAN. THE STEELERS SIGNING HIM AS AN UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT AS A POSSIBLE OPTION FOR DEPTH BEHIND KENNY PICKETT AND MITCH TRUBISKY HEAD COACH MIKE TOMLIN TALKING ABOUT MORGAN SAYING THAT HE’S REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HIS RESUME. HE’S A GUY THAT’S PLAYED A LOT. HE’S A SIX YEAR GUY. HE’S GOT SOME LEADERSHIP, INTANGIBLE QUALITIES. HE’S BEEN BEEN HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE WITHIN THAT PROGRAM. AND SO YOU KNOW, HIS RESUME IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE FOR A GUY IN THAT POSITION. MORGAN PLAYED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, WHERE HE STARTED 47 GAMES AND HOLDS THE SCHOOL RECORD WITH 33 WINS.
