Kinda like Cribbs in Cleveland I felt like PGH never really knew what to do with Dri. Their loss and hopefully somebody else's gain.

They tried him out on punt and kickoff returns without success. He was also given a shot at wr, rb and slot. He didn't click anywhere. However, I agree with you that he didn't get enough reps at any one spot. With all of their offensive weapons, there wasn't enough room for him to develop. Hopefully another team can give him the ball more.

Could you imagine what belechik could do with a guy like Dri after seeing what he's done with JE?

I'm pulling for Dri but I think there's a huge difference in toughness between Dri and Edelman.

I agree no comparison, but as far as God given athletic ability I think Dri wins out.

He will find a home. Despite their fondness for MAC players, the Steelers weren't a good fit for him.

He has turned down a reported 10 offers to join the practice squad (including from the Steelers) to try to find a team that will put him on the 53 man roster.

Great to hear. Hopefully things work out better for him there than Cribbs.
