Steelers Sign Former Alabama Player: Roll Call, May 13, 2024

Former Alabama football cornerback Anthony Averett has been signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 2018 fourth-round pick spent the 2023 season off active rosters after being signed then released by the San Francisco 49ers after an injury, then having a stint on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad. He tried out at minicamp this past weekend and earned a contract.

Best known as a starter on the Crimson Tide’s stellar 2016 defense and 2017 national title team, Averett was initially selected by the Baltimore Ravens, with whom he spent four seasons. His draft selection came on the heels of a senior season wherein he recorded 48 tackles.

After the Ravens, Averett had an injury-riddled run with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. He has had a difficult time staying healthy at the professional level, but he’s still just 29 years old, and Pittsburgh saw enough to give the former Alabama player a shot.
