I see a signing and wonder who is going to show up on the IR-Covid list in two days. that fear spread, can he return punts/kicks?
 
I watched his highlights and I will say this about him:

1) He's an x receiver. Excellent hands, great shimmy to make people miss after the catch, and good speed to separate.
2) I was impressed with his route running, and those are the type of receivers the steelers love!
3) Punt AND Kick returner. Good to have returning options on the roster

What this means to me, and from what I've seen of the roster, there are a lot of Z reciivers - Claypool, Washington, Johnson, Cain, Darboh but very few X receivers. DJ is it.

Honestly, this guy has a shot at a roster slot.
 
In a corresponding move the Steelers released WR Blacksnail or whatever his name was.
