Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick has officially found a new home.
The Louisville product was among several others who signed a reserve/future deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. This deal will give the young wideout the opportunity to compete for a roster spot this upcoming offseason.
Fitzpatrick is infamously known as one of former Titans general manager Jon Robinson’s biggest flops. Not only did he trade up to the top of the fourth round for the young wideout, but Robinson also passed on eventual star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was taken by the Detroit Lions a few selections later.
St. Brown went on to finish the year as Pro Football Focus’ second highest-graded wide receiver. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick is already joining his second team in three years.
In total, the fourth-round wideout played in just five games over two seasons in Tennessee, tallying five catches for 49 yards and one touchdown.
