Yeah seems they are just throwing a lot of **** against the wall and trying to see what stinks less. I prefer vet experience in this stage of the season as they have less time for a WR to be learning the O and developing as a NFL receiver at the same time. Little bit of a head shaker.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Steelers have signed WR Jamal Custis to the practice squad, filling the opening created by promoting Darboh. <br><br>The Syracuse product was in camp with the Chiefs and got a six-figure signing bonus as a UDFA. He didn’t break out though and was cut.</p>— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) <a href="https://twitter.com/bepryor/status/1207305481355759616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

At Syracuse, Custis was not a regular player at receiver until his senior year where he played in 13 games. On the season, he had 51 receptions for 906 yards with six touchdowns. During his sophomore season in 2015, Custis played mainly on special teams and only had one reception which was a 7-yard touchdown. After a red-shirt season in 2016 due to a high ankle sprain, Custis appeared in eight games as a junior in which he had eight receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown. With his breakout season in his senior year, Custis was named as a Second Team All-ACC selection. At 6’ 5” and 220 pounds, Custis was used as a large red-zone target as well as a gunner on special teams.

In the 2019 preseason, Custis had four receptions for 32 yards for the Chiefs. In the preseason game against the Steelers, he was targeted once with no receptions.

Custis fills the void on the Steelers practice squad from the promotion of Amara Darboh to the 53-man roster. On Monday, the Steelers cut wide receiver Tevin Jones in favor of promoting Darboh.
