Two key Pittsburgh Steelers players have declared their retainment from the team today…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed another former Atlanta Falcons player, this time on defense. Steelers Depot’s Alex Kozora wrote on June 21 that the Steelers claimed defensive tackle Willington Previlon off waivers.

The Steelers reported the move on the NFL transaction sheet.

Prior to adding Previlon, the Steelers had already acquired four notable former Falcons players this offseason — all on offense. But unlike those four players, Previlon never played for former Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith.

The Falcons signed Previlon to a reserve/future contract on January 10. Atlanta fired Smith, who is the new Steelers offensive coordinator, two days prior.

Undrafted in 2020, Previlon experienced stints with the Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys during his first four NFL seasons. But he’s never appeared in a regular season game.

With the addition to Previlon, the Steelers have a full offseason roster again and added depth to the interior of their defensive line.

Previlon played college football at Rutgers, where he posted 71 total tackles, including 11.5 tackles for loss, in his career. He also had 4 sacks and 3 pass defenses.

He registered 35 of those tackles, including 7.5 for loss and 1 sack during his senior season.

Standing at 287 pounds during his draft process, Pro Football Network’s Tony Pauline called Previlon “undersized” but also labeled him as “explosive” and a player who had shown “versatility.”
