cornerback depth

Cornerback Anthony Averett, boasting five NFL seasons and extensive playing experience, found himself among the tryout players at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie minicamp due to a season-long absence from play. However, his journey took a fortuitous turn as the Steelers announced their decision to sign him to a one-year contract. This opportunity signifies a fresh start for Averett, who aims to contribute his skills and experience to the team’s cornerback unit, addressing Pittsburgh’s need for depth in the defensive lineup.
