The Pittsburgh Steelers elected to add from outside of the organization last week after placing inside linebacker Marcus Allen on the Reserve/Injured List. Rather than promote somebody from their own practice squad, they signed veteran linebacker Tae Crowder instead off of the New York Giants’ practice squad.
The last pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, he has played more than most drafted in that spot. He has started 31 over 41 career games, registering 232 tackles (nine for loss) with two sacks, six hits, two interceptions, eight passes defensed, two forced fumbles, and a 43-yard fumble recovery for a score.
