Springs entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2018 out of Oregon but has yet to appear in an NFL game. In two seasons, he has appeared on the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.

Springs was the first player of the Pittsburgh Steelers to be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 List this season exactly one week ago.
