Pittsburgh Steelers sign Merrimack DB Darion McKenzie

Merrimack defenseman back Darion McKenzie signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent following this past weekend’s NFL Draft.

McKenzie, who was a grad student this past season, had three interceptions for the Warriors in nine games.

This is the second year in a row the Steelers have signed a Merrimack player as a UDFA. Last season, they signed defensive lineman James Nyamwaya.

Nyamwaya is currently playing for the Massachusetts Pirates, an IFL team that plays out of the Tsongas Center in Lowell.
