The Pittsburgh Steelers signed two more draft picks — fourth-round cornerback Doran Grant and sixth-round linebacker Anthony Chickillo — on Monday.

Financial terms of the four-year deals were not disclosed.

The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Grant, who was the 121st overall pick, played collegiately at Ohio State. He started 30 of 54 games played and totaled 146 tackles, nine interceptions, 20 pass breakups, one sack and four tackles for loss. In 2014, he was named first-team All-Big Ten and started all 15 games for the national champion Buckeyes.

The 6-3, 267-pound Chickillo played at the University of Miami. He started 47 of 50 games for the Hurricanes and tallied 170 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 15.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and five pass breakups in his career.

The Steelers have now signed three of their eight selections from the 2015 NFL Draft. Defensive end L.T. Walton, the first of two sixth-round selections, signed last week.
