The Pittsburgh Steelers have now re-signed another one of their own players that was set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 17 and this time it is tackle Zach Banner. He announced on Twitter Tuesday that he has re-signed.
Banner, a former fourth-round draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts, won the starting right tackle spot in training camp in 2020 as he beat out fellow tackle Chukwuma Okorafor for the job.
Unfortunately for Banner, he didn’t even make through the Steelers first regular season game of 2020 as he tore the ACL in his right knee in the second half of that contest and thus was lost for the remainder of the year.
