It doesn't take long for players who were once starters to fizzle out of the NFL. That may be exactly what's happening to former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Montravius Adams. The athletic defensive lineman joined the Steelers late in the 2021 season and would play an integral role on the team through 2024. However, after selecting two defensive tackles in the 2025 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh released Adams late in April.
Through three-and-a-half seasons on the Steelers, Adams started 21 of 46 games as he played nose tackle and sub-package snaps as a versatile interior defender. Adams finished his career in Pittsburgh, recording 72 tackles and six tackles for a loss.
