Steelers work out ex-Jaguars receiver, Pro Bowl return specialist
As the Pittsburgh Steelers continue scouting players for their practice squad, the team worked out former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/return specialist Jamal Agnew on Monday.
Agnew was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions as a defensive back and won first-team All-Pro honors as a rookie.
In 2020, he switched to wide receiver. In 2022, Agnew was selected to the Pro Bowl as a return specialist after logging 1,025 all-purpose yards on kick and punt returns (Ravens WR Devin Duvernay could not participate because of injury).
He has four punt return touchdowns and two more scores on kick returns. Over seven seasons, Agnew has compiled 746 receiving yards and 263 rushing yards.
From the wire:#Saints worked out a group of veteran receivers including John Ross. No immediate signing.#Steelers worked out WR Jamal Agnew.#Colts worked out nine players, including RB Leonard Fournette. They signed DB David Long.
