The average NFL career only lasts a few years, typically. Most players who are drafted never get a chance to reach unrestricted free agency as a result, likely getting cut beforehand. Not many, then, get the chance to actually choose their employer without getting fired first.
And chances are most players grew up rooting for one team or another. How many of them get the chance to play for their favorite team? Well, I don’t know, but I know the Pittsburgh Steelers gave Chris Wormley that chance when they traded for him in 2020.
The sixth-year veteran has now spent about half of his career in Pittsburgh after being drafted by and spending his first three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.
