Keith Kelsey Signs As Undrafted Free Agent With Pittsburgh Steelers

Mark BlankenbakerMay 1, 2017

Louisville All-ACC Linebacker Keith Kelsey signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers shortly after the 2017 NFL Draft concluded. Kelsey went undrafted and signed with the Steelers as a Free Agent. Kelsey had 93 tackles in 2016 following his 107 take downs in 2015. Keith was 2nd team All-ACC as a senior and 1st team All-ACC as a junior. Kelsey’s stock was hampered by his 4.92 NFL combine 40-yard dash time.

Keith came to the Cards out of Gainesville, FL and played immediately as a freshman in 2013 before filling the void at middle linebacker after Preston Brown departed as a senior and was drafted by the Buffalo Bills.
