This an interesting signing.

As much as I hate Michigan, I always liked Devin Gardner and Denard Robinson. Kids were recruited to play one style of offense, stuck with the team/switched positions, and always gave it their all.

Yeah, both seemed like nice kids, good teammates.

I agree. I didn't like Denard Robinson but when I saw all the punishment he took during that OT game vs. Penn State in 2013 and still bounced back and played hard, he showed real leadership. From that point on, I really liked Denard. He seems like a stand up guy to me looking on from the outside.

This reminds me of another QB/WR signing a few years back... a kid out of Indiana... Antoine Randal-El

This could lead to some interesting play calling, and it gives The Steelers another option if Big Ben were to do down.

Yeah, could be. The Steelers also recently signed Tajh Boyd, former Clemson QB. He's mobile but a pretty good passer, too; has a chance of beating out Landry Jones for their roster, I think.

Devin Gardner is no Randle El. Not even close. Randel El was a phenomenal athlete playing QB (mostly option QB). Gardner was a lesser athlete playing dropback QB. He may get a shot at WR/TE, but he does not have the wheels/quickness of Randle El. Randle El was one of the best players I have seen play in Beaver Stadium. He seemed like he juked out all 11 players on defense some plays.

Randle-El was a once in 20 years type of athlete. Gardner, while a good athlete in his own right, isn't in the same league as Randle El.
