Former UNLV RB Summers signs contract with Steelers

(via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) · June 12, 2009 · 1:52 PM

The day after completing spring practice, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed three of their 2009 draft picks, including former UNLV running back Frank Summers, who the defending Super Bowl champs selected in the fifth round (169th overall) in April.

Summers, at 5-foot-10, 240 pounds, projects as a short-yardage specialist for the Steelers, who released Gary Russell before the draft -- the back who played that role for them in 2008.

In two seasons with the Rebels after transferring from Laney College, Summers, picked up 2,070 total yards and scored 20 touchdowns as both a rushing and receiving threat.
