Rader, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Youngstown State back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Packers but was unfortunately waived coming out of the preseason.
The Steelers signed Rader to a futures contract this past January only to waive him at the start of the preseason. He’s been on and off of their practice squad this season.
During his four-year college career, Radar caught 41 passes for 601 yards receiving and four touchdowns over the course of 42 games.
