Not an 'official visit' but I thought I'd post this in here anyway.

Quote:

The Pittsburgh Steelers were among a large group of NFL teams who attended a somewhat unusual workout on Tuesday. Virginia Commonwealth basketball player Mo Alie-Cox has decided to try his hand at the NFL, so he wants to show off his skills as a tight end.

Also there's this from NFL network about the youngster.

Quote:

An NFL spokesman confirmed that Alie-Cox was "eligible for the 2016 NFL Draft and has remained a free agent since the conclusion of that draft." Therefore, he won't be in the 2017 draft -- and can sign immediately. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000 ... free-agent

Quote:

Alie-Cox was encouraged to explore the possibility two years ago by Cowboys TE Jason Witten.

He picked a bad year to come out-- there are so many talented, lesser known, more athletic, more experienced TE types. His wingspan sounds like something he can win with, though.

Apparently he's a converted WR. I have honestly never heard of the guy.

MVP of the Tropical Bowl All-Star game... 3 TDs, including a deflection on a Hail Mary. Lacks the quicks to be a real force as a move TE but he's not too bad as a UDFA project.

Added 2 to the "Unconfirmed" list.

Apparently Davis Webb (QB from Cal) has a visit scheduled.

Treyvon Hester is a Nose Tackle out of Toledo. He's from Penn Hills, so it will be a local visit.
