2024 Steelers Exit Meetings – ILB Tyler Matakevich

Pittsburgh Steelers Exit Meeting: ILB Tyler Matakevich

Experience: 9 Years (5 with Steelers)

It took a long time, but the Steelers finally reunited with Tyler Matakevich last year. A seventh-round draft pick in 2019, he played out his rookie contract here before signing with the Bills. After a successful four-year stint there, earning good pay for special teams, he returned on a one-year deal.

Despite a decorated college history, Tyler Matakevich lacks the basic physical makeup to excel at the NFL level. That is precisely why a Bronco Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik Award winner can end up lasting until the seventh round.
