A pair of Ohio State Buckeyes became the first 2010 draft picks to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday.

Linebacker Thaddeus Gibson and defensive tackle Doug Worthington officially agreed to terms with the team according to a press release.

The 6-foot-2, 243 pound Gibson was the Steelers’ fourth-round draft pick (No. 116 overall) out of Ohio State. He earned second-team all-Big Ten honors last season as a defensive end for the Buckeyes.

He did not participate in the team’s recent OTAs due to class requirements back at college, proving he has a good head on his shoulders.

Worthington was selected in the seventh-round (No. 242 overall) having also played his college ball at Ohio State. He registered 42 tackles and two sacks in his senior season.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
