‘Broderick Is Not A Dummy’: Mike Tomlin Not Worried About Jones Facing Myles Garrett

Broderick Jones was potentially the most pivotal player on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense coming into the 2025 season. Protecting Aaron Rodgers’ blindside, Jones would have to be at his best to keep the 41-year-old quarterback upright. That’s not easy, considering the talented edge rushers Jones is tasked with stopping throughout the year.

This week against the Cleveland Browns, Jones has arguably his toughest test in Myles Garrett. That’s a challenge Mike Tomlin thinks his young tackle is ready for.

“I don’t know that it requires conversation. I think that Broderick is not a dummy,” Tomlin said at his Tuesday press conference via the team’s YouTube channel.
