There are still weeks of games and practice to get through before we know who the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting center is on opening day, but the signs certainly seem to be pointing to the person we thought it would be since the draft: Rookie third-round pick, Kendrick Green.
While there were reports that J.C. Hassenauer took the majority of the reps at center during OTAs and minicamp, it’s Green lining up there at the opening of training camp. Head coach Mike Tomlin already announced that the rookie would be starting there in the Hall of Fame game, though as always, he cautions about reading into preseason alignments.
