The receiver hopes he has found a home in Pittsburgh after a brief stop in Dallas and an even more brief stint in Oakland.The Cowboys drafted Switzer in the fourth round in 2017. Dallas used him primarily as a return specialist Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , with Switzer seeing only 92 offensive snaps and catching but six passes for 41 yards as a rookie.The Cowboys shipped him to Oakland before last offseason, reuniting him with special teams coach Rich Bisaccia. Switzer, though, lasted only four months with the Raiders before they dealt him to the Steelers the week of the final preseason game.Despite his late arrival to Pittsburgh, Switzer caught 36 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown, while also returning punts and kickoffs last season. “I didn’t surprise myself, but I am sure I surprised others Austin Seibert Jersey ,” Switzer said, via Teresa Varley of the team website. “There was a stigma that was created before I got here that I was just a return guy. It was hard for me because I spent four years in college doing so many things on the offensive side of the ball. A new environment can be good for everybody. To be around an organization that believed in me, a coaching staff that believed in me, and players that believed in me. That was the biggest thing. They allowed me to spread my wings, be who I am.“I always knew how to play the receiver position. I think that got lost last year because of a stigma that was they put on me elsewhere as being just a return specialist guy. The Steelers who evaluated me coming out of the draft, they knew the production I had in college. For them to trust that, even though I wasn’t used like that in Dallas Trysten Hill Jersey , meant a lot. The first week I was here coach [Mike] Tomlin made sure I knew that I wasn’t just here to be a return guy. Throughout the year I grew because of the guys that were around me, the guys I was able to watch. Then I grew because of Ben [Roethlisberger]. He took time with me individually to make sure I was on the same page with him. He took the time to make sure we knew about each other, learned about other, made sure I knew what he wanted, and he knew how I saw things.”With a full offseason with the Steelers, Switzer expects to produce even more in 2019. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles selected their only defensive player of the NFL draft on the final day, choosing Penn State edge rusher Shareef Miller in the fourth round on Saturday.They took Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson in the fifth round and traded a seventh-round pick to Indianapolis for defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway.The 6-foot-4 Connor McGovern Jersey , 255-pound Miller, who grew up in Philadelphia, had 7½ sacks last season and 14½ in three years in college. He also had 31½ tackles for loss. Miller, selected No. 138 overall, adds depth and gives defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz another player to fit into his rotation.Thorson will get a chance to develop behind Carson Wentz and backup Nate Sudfeld. He was a four-year starter at Northwestern and threw for 10,731 yards with a 58.4 percent completion rate, 61 touchdowns and 45 interceptions. The Eagles traded pick No. 163 to the Patriots for Nos. 167 and 246. They sent the 246th pick to the Colts.Ridgeway started six games in three seasons in Indianapolis. He only played in five games last year because of injuries.Earlier in the draft Foster Moreau Jersey , the Eagles focused on offense. They moved up three spots to select Washington State left tackle Andre Dillard with the 22nd pick in the first round, sending Baltimore the 25th pick, a fourth-rounder (No. 127) and a sixth (No. 197) to move up. Dillard isn’t expected to contribute right away, barring injuries. He’ll learn behind nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, who is 37 years old.Penn State running back Miles Sanders was drafted in the second round at No. 53 and Stanford wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside at No. 57.Sanders had 1,274 yards rushing, an average of 5.8 yards per carry and nine touchdowns as a junior last year after replacing Saquon Barkley. Arcega-Whiteside had 63 catches for 1 Anthony Nelson Jersey ,059 yards and 14 TDs as a senior.
