Former Arkansas receiver Cobi Hamilton reportedly signed a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, according to the NFL Network.

The Steelers are the fifth NFL team and sixth stop for Hamilton, the Razorbacks' record-holder for career receptions (175 from 2009 to 2012), single-season receptions (90 in 2012) and single-season receiving yards (1,335 in 2012).

Following an All-SEC senior season, he was selected in the sixth round of the 2013 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, where he stayed for a year-plus. In 2014, he began the year with the Philadelphia Eagles before being released and re-signing with Cincinnati.

He had a one-month stint with the Miami Dolphins last fall before signing with the Carolina Panthers in January. The Panthers released him in late July, paving the way for the Steelers to ink him.

Hamilton is still searching for his first pro reception.
