According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport , the Steelers are signing Travis Homer, who last played for the Chicago Bears and also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks . "The Steelers are signing former Bears and Seahawks RB and special teamer Travis Homer, source said," Rapoport said. Who is Travis Homer?
Homer entered the league in 2019 as a sixth-round pick from Miami and spent four years with the Seahawks. The 27-year-old rushed for 453 yards and a touchdown during his tenure in Seattle and was also a premier special teams player. Homer has spent the last three seasons in Chicago, contributing on special teams but not having a major role on offense.
He has appeared in just 20 total games over the last two seasons, though. What will Homer bring to Steelers? Homer should compete for a roster spot with the Steelers, but could have an uphill climb, given the depth in Pittsburgh's running back.
