Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could catch on in Pittsburgh
Averett will attend the Steelers' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old cornerback didn't play last season after getting injured in training camp while with the 49ers, eventually winding up on the Lions' practice squad in October but never getting elevated to the game-day roster. Averett's best season came in 2021 with the Ravens, when he recorded 54 tackles and his only three career interceptions over 14 games. If he shows enough in the minicamp, he could provide some experienced depth in the Pittsburgh secondary this year.
