Still in the market for an outside cornerback coming out of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers are using the rookie minicamp together a look at former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anthony Averett.
According to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, the Steelers are hosting Averett on a tryout basis at the rookie minicamp. Averett spent the 2023 season on the practice squad of the Detroit Lions.
Previously, Averett was a fourth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2018 NFL Draft at No. 111 overall out of Alabama.
Averett was with the Ravens from 2018-21, spent the 2022 season with the Las Vegas Raiders and then was in training camp with the San Francisco 49ers last summer before being cut and landing on the Lions’ practice squad.
