Steelers Sign One of Two Fourth-Round Draft Picks
Monday, May 22, 2006
PITTSBURGH — The Steelers announced the signing of rookie offensive tackle Willie Colon to a three-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Colon (6-3, 315) was selected by the Steelers out of Hofstra in the fourth round (131st overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. He is the first of nine Steelers 2006 draft picks to sign with the team.
Colon was named first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Foundation this past year for Division I-AA. He was also a first-team All-Atlantic 10 selection as a senior as well as being recognized as a third-team All-American by Don Hansen's Football Gazette.
A starter in every game the past three years, Colon was the Steelers first of two fourth-round selections in this year's NFL Draft. Defensive end Orien Harris was the Steelers second fourth-round pick (133rd overall).
