The Steelers brought in five players for pro tryouts at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex:
• TE Robery Tonyan • WR Trayvon Rudolph • P James Platte • LB Amari Burney • OLB Jamin Davis
Tonyan, 32, has previous ties to both Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. Tonyan went undrafted out of Indiana State in 2017, but later signed with the Packers practice squad that season and re-signed for the 2018 season. He then spent the subsequent five seasons in Green Bay -- all with Rodgers as his quarterback -- and tallied 137 catches for 1,437 yards and 17 touchdowns during that span.
Since his time in Green Bay came to an end, Tonyan has bounced around for the past three seasons, spending 2023 with the Bears, 2024 with Brian Angelichio and the Vikings, and 2025 with the Chiefs. Over those three seasons, Tonyan's production has drastically dropped off, catching just 12 passes for 113 yards and no touchdowns.
