After being plucked off the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad last season and inserted into the starting lineup for the Pittsburgh Steelers, defensive lineman Montravius Adams really burst onto the scene, making plays and showing flashes of his potential overall.
The Steelers bet on those flashes recently, signing the veteran defensive tackle to a two-year, $5 million contract, ensuring they retain the services of a guy who Mike Tomlin hinted late in the 2021 season might have been a hidden gem.
With the return to Pittsburgh, Adams plugs a major need as a depth piece along the defensive line, one that can play all three spots in base and can give the Steelers some pass rush reps in a pinch.
