Ke'Shawn Williams, Indiana Athletics
Following the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers added to their receiving corps on Saturday evening. General manager Omar Khan signed Indiana wideout Ke'Shawn Williams to the fold as an undrafted free agent.

The 5-foot-9, 189-pound Williams was the Hoosiers' fourth-leading receiver last season, behind Elijah Sarratt (957 yards), Omar Cooper (594) and Myles Price (446). Before that, Williams spent four seasons at Wake Forest, totaling 1,385 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 107 receptions. He also returned kickoffs for the Demon Deacons, compiling 654 yards on 33 chances.
He relocated to Bloomington to spend his final go-round of collegiate eligibility with Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti. When he arrived at Indiana, he was mainly considered a slot receiver. He helped the program to its most memorable campaign in some time, as it reached the College Football Playoff and was in contention for a Big 10 title late into the regular season.

247 Sports rated Williams as a three-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He was the No. 237-ranked receiver and the No. 21-ranked player from Pennsylvania. Temple, UMass, Kent State, Monmouth and Fordham were also after him.

Williams is a much more under-the-radar acquisition than DK Metcalf , who the Steelers traded for last month. Mike Tomlin's crew also chose to keep George Pickens around despite being due for a new contract after this season.
The Steelers' other undrafted free agent additions include receiver Roc Williams (Memphis), guard Aiden Williams (UM-Duluth), safety Sebastian Castro (Iowa), kicker Ben Sauls (Pitt), tight end JJ Galbreath (South Dakota) and tight end/fullback DJ Thomas-Jones (South Alabama).
