The Pittsburgh Steelers could lose a veteran offensive tackle when they need depth there badly. Calvin Anderson is one of the only veterans on the market wit starting experience from his time with the New England Patriots. Now, he has a chance to land elsewhere.
Anderson was elevated from fourth-string tackle to the swing tackle after injuries forced him into action. The Steelers signed him after Troy Fautanu’s season-ending injury, and he played well in the playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
He has 14 NFL starts and started two games in 2023. However, he was benched due to poor play, and shortly after that, Anderson suffered a ‘heart contusion’ in practice that ended his season.
In the 2023 offseason, while on a trip to Nigeria, Anderson dealt with a about of Malaria and almost died. That forced him to miss much of the offseason program, and when he started Week 1, he was behind others on the team.
Anderson has played and started games at both right and left tackle. An undrafted free agent out of Texas in the 2019 NFL Draft, Anderson spent most of his time after entering the NFL with the Denver Broncos.
