On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran CB Anthony Averett after he impressed the team during his tryout at rookie minicamp. The Steelers needed cornerback help as they lack experienced players there. The only corners on the roster with starting experience are last year’s second-round pick Joey Porter Jr. and Donte Jackson, whom they acquired from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for WR Diontae Johnson.
But who is Averett? Chances are, you know that he’s the latest in a trend of former Baltimore Ravens players switching from the proverbial dark side this offseason. He joins former LB Patrick Queen and S DeShon Elliott as players who suited up for Baltimore at one point in their careers before signing with the Steelers.
