The Steelers’ 2025 offseason has been remarkably quiet when it comes to moves addressing the offensive line. However, Pittsburgh has finally added a depth piece, with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reporting that the team has claimed offensive guard Lecitus Smith off of waivers from the New England Patriots.

Smith was drafted in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, selected by the Arizona Cardinals. Since then, he’s bounced around the league, logging stints with the Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and most recently, the Patriots.

The 6’3, 314-pound lineman has appeared in 18 career NFL games (214 offensive snaps), starting three. He’s 26 years old.

In college, Smith largely played at left guard but did start one game at left tackle. In the NFL, he’s been listed at both center and guard. He now joins his former Patriots teammate, Daniel Ekuale, as part of the Steelers’ 2025 free agent class.
