The 27-year-old from Western Michigan appeared in just one game during his one-year stint with the Patriots in 2024 before being placed on the exempt/left quad list in early September. However, he's made 60 starts throughout his seven-year NFL career, primarily with the Steelers from 2020 to 2022 (48 starts).
