A talented and versatile offensive tackle at Alabama and Vanderbilt, Steen allowed two sacks in 498 pass block snaps last season.
The well-traveled offensive lineman has cross-trained and played 3,057 career snaps at left tackle and right tackle but was likely drafted as a right guard.
He gives Philadelphia a player that can play tackle in a pinch while allowing Cam Jurgens to play his natural position of center eventually.
