PITTSBURGH (AP) -The NFL draft is supposed to be about the new. New players. New hope for downtrodden teams. The unofficial start to a new season.
Apparently the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t get the message. On the final day of the NFL’s inaugural three-day draft, they brought back yet another player for what already is being called the 2010 Steelers Reunion Tour.
Bryant McFadden, a starting cornerback for their Super Bowl team 15 months ago but a flop after signing with Arizona, became the latest ex-Steeler to rejoin the team. He was reacquired Saturday at a modest cost, a fifth-round pick, and the Steelers got a sixth-rounder, too.
McFadden joins Antwaan Randle El, Larry Foote and Byron Leftwich in returning to Pittsburgh, a team that once never brought back players after they left.
