Steelers Invite Pitt LB Tylar Wiltz to Rookie Minicamp
PITTSBURGH -- Pitt Panthers linebacker Tylar Wiltz will have to walk about 20 feet to find the next stop on his journey in search of an NFL career. Wiltz learned this week that he had been invited to participate in rookie minicamp with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per a report from NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
Wiltz played just one season with the Panthers after transferring from FCS Missouri State. He saw his playing time increase exponentially as he got increasingly familiar with the playbook. He appeared in all 13 games, three of which were starts. He saved his best for last, combining for 13 tackles, 3.5 stops for a loss, two sacks and an interception between the regular season finale against Miami and the Sun Bowl vs UCLA.
He totaled 50 tackles, four for loss, two sacks, an interception, four passes defended and a forced fumble in a reserve role for Pitt. The 6'1, 210-pound backer participated in the Tropical Bowl at the end of his final season in college.
