The Pittsburgh Steelers have added some promising young talent to their offensive line, signing center Greg Crippen after an impressive showing at rookie minicamp.
Crippen, who went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, turned heads during his tryout and earned a contract with the team. To make room on the roster, the Steelers waived offensive tackle Sataoa Laumea.
The Michigan product brings a solid collegiate resume to Pittsburgh. Over his career with the Wolverines, Crippen appeared in 41 games and made 21 starts. He really hit his stride in 2025, earning a starting role and being named an All-Big Ten honorable mention for his performance.
Now, Crippen will battle it out with Ryan McCollum for the backup center job behind starter Zach Frazier. As an undrafted rookie, he has a real shot at cracking the 53-man roster and proving he belongs in the NFL. It's a high-upside move for a Steelers team always looking to build depth in the trenches.
For fans rocking their Steelers gear and following every offseason move, keep an eye on Crippen—he might just be the next undrafted gem to make an impact in Pittsburgh.
