David DeCastro Savoring The Memories With O-Line Brothers: ‘They Made The Game Easy To Play’

The Pittsburgh Steelers had the opportunity to start the same starting five offensive linemen through the bulk of the time between the 2015-2018 seasons. Alejandro Villanueva was the left tackle, during which he made two Pro Bowls. Ramon Foster was next to him, with Maurkice Pouncey at center, David DeCastro to his right, and Marcus Gilbert at right tackle. And for the most part, the bulk of that group had been together even longer, from 2012 through 2019.

Foster came in first as a college free agent in 2009, then Pouncey in the first round a year later, Gilbert in the second in 2011, and DeCastro in the first in 2012.
