Alexander Allen Silvestro (born November 15, 1988) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.[1]
Prior to Rutgers, Silvestro played for Paulsboro High School in Paulsboro, New Jersey.[2][3]
Professional career
[edit | edit source]
New England Patriots
[edit | edit source]As a defensive end, he was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2011. On February 4, 2012, he was called up to replace a former college teammate, Tiquan Underwood, on the active roster of the New England Patriots, one day before Super Bowl XLVI, though he didn't appear in the game.[4] During the 2012 OTAs and minicamp, Silvestro was forced into duty at tight end due to a shortage at that position of the roster.
Baltimore Ravens
[edit | edit source]In November 2012, he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens to the practice squad. On August 30, 2013, he was released by the Ravens.[5]

"In a move perceived as coldhearted from the outside but as standard operating procedure from those within the sport, the Patriots released receiver Tiquan Underwood. Replacing him on the active roster was Silvestro, Underwood’s former teammate at Rutgers.... Despite being active, Silvestro came close to entering only once, when Rob Ninkovich missed a play. Silvestro, Ninkovich’s backup, grabbed his helmet, but when New England switched the defensive front, he was told not to rotate in."
