To say that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie LT Broderick Jones’ start on Sunday was the first of many is kind of pointless, because it always went without saying that he would be making many starts. The question is if his next start will be the Steelers’ next game, or rather if he will continue to start when incumbent Dan Moore Jr. gets healthy.
Drafted 14th overall in the first round after they traded up to get him, Jones was officially the Steelers’ left tackle of the future the second the New England Patriots agreed to trade back. The timing was the only variable, and to Moore’s credit, he’s done everything he can to hold onto his job, while also being a good teammate.
