Avery Williamson has spent plenty of time on the football field. Now in his eighth season in the NFL (he missed a full year due to an ACL injury in 2019), he has logged more than 4000 snaps on defense over the course of his career, which prior to the past month or so, consisted of four years with the Tennessee Titans and then about two and a half with the New York Jets.
The Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision to acquire him via trade shortly before the deadline, though the intention was only at the time to bring him in in order to serve as depth.
