The Pittsburgh Steelers added depth at wideout on Wednesday.
Former second-round pick Justin Hunterwill join Antonio Brown and Co. in the Steelers receivers room on a one-year contract, Pittsburgh announced. Hunter has never totaled more than 498 yards receiving since entering the league in 2013, but is still a downfield threat thanks to his speed.
Hunter bolsters the Steelers' receiving depth after they lost Markus Wheaton to the Bears in free agency and still await news on Martavis Bryant's suspension that kept him out all of 2016.
