The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Tuesday that center/guard J.C. Hassenauer has signed his one-year exclusive rights tender for the 2022 NFL season.
An undrafted free agent out of Alabama in 2018, Hassenauer was originally signed by the Atlanta Falcons. Failing to make the 53-man roster, Hassenauer landed on the Falcon’s practice squad for most of the season in Atlanta. Playing with the Birmingham Iron of the AAF in 2019, Hassenauer was signed by the Steelers as one of several AAF players to come to training camp.
Hassenauer spent 2019 on the Steelers practice squad.
