Adrian Klemm Praises Veteran OL Joe Haeg’s Preparation, Competition

It’s been a rough start to the 2021 season for a rebuilt Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line under new head position coach Adrian Klemm and new assistant coach Chris Morgan.

Injuries, position changes and relatively poor play across the board has factored into that rough start. Fortunately for the Steelers and Klemm, veteran swing tackle Joe Haeg helped get the Steelers’ offensive line back on track in Week 4 at the Green Bay Packers.

Haeg, who signed with the Steelers as a free agent, stepped into the starting role with Chukwuma Okorafor in Week 4 and played well, according to Klemm, who spoke to the media Friday ahead of the Week 5 matchup with the Denver Broncos.
