Former Michigan State football TE Matt Sokol signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Former Michigan State football tight end Matt Sokol signs with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed another former Michigan State football tight end to join Connor Heyward in that room, and it unfortunately came at the expense of another former Spartan.

On Tuesday, the Steelers announced that they have signed Matt Sokol, and they also released defensive back Josiah Scott. Sokol spent last season with the New England Patriots, while Scott was with the Philadelphia Eagles last year and will now look for a new home.
