Whyte, 23, was selected in the seventh round out of Florida Atlantic by the Bears in 2019. He agreed to a four-year, $2.6 million contract and managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason.
However, Chicago elected to waive Whyte back in September and signed him to their practice squad once clearing waivers. The Steelers signed Whyte to their active roster later in the year.
In 2019, Whyte appeared in six games for the Steelers and rushed 24 times for 122 yards (5.1 YPC) and caught one pass for nine yards.
