It may not be as flashy as the overnight news, but it's a position of need for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and one that has been addressed. 

Following the release of punter Pressley Harvin, the team quite literally has no punters on the roster.

Steelers to sign Punter Cameron Johnston

Johnston is an Australian punter who played at Ohio State before joining the Eagles out of college in 2018. 

Hailing from the land of punters (and down under) Johnston has been able to find consistent work in the NFL thanks to his overall ability. 

Johnston pinned 30 punts inside the 20-yard line last season, had a long of 74 yards, and nearly matched a career-best of yards per punt at 47.7. 

So with Pittsburgh looking for stability over the next Ray Guy, the signing to come fits them perfectly.
