Pottebaum was placed on the reserve/retired list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Pottebaum signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in the spring. It's unclear why the 23-year-old has chosen to hang up his cleats, but the Steelers will retain his rights if he decides to get back on the field.

RB FA
Pittsburgh signed Pottebaum as an undrafted free agent Sunday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pottebaum started his career at Iowa as a linebacker but transitioned to fullback in 2019. Across 45 games (13 starts), he totaled 20 rushing attempts for 82 yards and a touchdown to go along with 10 receptions for 85 yards. The 23-year-old was a committed part of the Hawkeyes' special teams in 2022, and he'll likely have to garner a similar role if he hopes to carve out a spot on the Steelers' initial 53-man roster.
