The tight end caught 11 touchdowns from Aaron Rodgers during the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Tonyan and Rodgers will get another chance to work together as the tight end joins a crowded depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>Tonyan earned his spot by attending the Steelers&#8217; rookie minicamp and impressing the coaching staff, according to Pryor.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-5 Tonyan turned 32 years old in April and hasn&#8217;t been as productive in his recent NFL action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After spending his first five NFL seasons with the Packers, including surpassing 50 catches in both 2020 and 2022, he went to the Chicago Bears for 2023.<\/p>\n<p>With the Bears that season, he had 11 catches.<\/p>\n<p>Tonyan appeared in just five games for the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 and didn&#8217;t catch a pass.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Tonyan joined the Kansas City Chiefs and made it onto the field for all 17 games. Despite that, he finished with just one catch for one yard.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers did lose some tight end depth this offseason but still have Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth atop the depth chart. Tonyan will have a chance to compete for the TE3 role with a number of undrafted players who are currently in the building.<\/p>\n<p>Given Tonyan&#8217;s past relationship with Rodgers, it certainly seems likely that he&#8217;ll have a solid chance of sticking around in Pittsburgh for this season.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These guys have played together in their Packers pasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Steelers&#039;
