Dri Archer

Steelers give up on 2014 third-rounder Dri Archer

The Pittsburgh Steelers waived running back Dri Archer.

What It Means:

It's an admission of defeat on Archer, whom the Steelers made the No. 97 overall pick of last year's draft after he posted the combine's fastest 40-yard dash time (4.26).

Despite the sprinter's speed, Archer couldn't find a position on offense and failed to make an impact on special teams. He had not registered a touch on offense this season. Archer's wheels will likely get him a look elsewhere.
