Steelers dip into AAF free agency, sign Hassanauer, Tocho

J.C. Hassanauer, a center for the Birmingham Iron during their one and only dominating season, joins Pittsburgh to add depth behind Maurkice Pouncey. Hassanauer was part of Alabama’s National Championship team in 2017 before going undrafted. He was eventually signed by the Atlanta Falcons before being placed on their practice squad before the season.

The Steelers also added defensive back, Jack Tocho, another member of the Iron. Tocho, a former standout at North Carolina State, played in 49 games and finished with 122 tackles, 26 pass deflections and six interceptions.

Tocho will have to work to earn his place in Pittsburgh.
