After an impressive Pro Day at Michigan State last week, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers are signing former Eastern Michigan wide receiver, Mathew Sexton.
Former Eastern Michigan WR Mathew Sexton is signing with the #Steelers, source said, after blazing a low-4.3s 40 at Michigan State pro day last week. Undrafted in 2020, Sexton flashed return skills in The Spring League. #Bills, #Patriots worked him out too, but he’s headed to PIT pic.twitter.com/t3o0sRn6Hd

In four years at Eastern Michigan, Sexton had 100 receptions for 1,135 yards and nine touchdowns.
"With the cancellation of the majority of pro days in 2020, players who are not currently under contract by an NFL team and would have participated last year have been allowed to return in order to showcase their skills." -
