As the Steelers continue their search for a new head coach, general manager Omar Khan has also began to construct the team’s offseason 90-man roster.
The Steelers announced Thursday that the team has signed wide receiver Brandon Johnson and offensive lineman Doug Nester to reserve/futures deals.
Johnson is a veteran receiver with 23 games of NFL experience, with three of those coming with Pittsburgh in 2024. Steelers wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni called Johnson a “sneaky good player” over the summer. The 27-year-old pass catcher has 335 career receiving yards with five touchdowns.
Nester doesn’t have any NFL regular season experience, but he was a college teammate of Steelers’ center Zach Frazier at West Virginia, where he started games at both guard and tackle.
