The Pittsburgh Steelers selected two offensive linemen in the 2023 draft: Georgia’s Broderick Jones with the 14th pick in round one and Maryland’s Spencer Anderson with the 251st pick in the seventh round. Following my 2022 and 2021 studies on Jones, and 2022 article on Anderson (when he primarily played guard) using Sports Info Solutions (SIS), today’s study will look at 2020 and 2021 PFF blocking grades. I’ll focus on players that heard their names called in the draft and had the highest snap totals at tackle.
This includes the Steelers draftees, with Jones spending all his time at tackle (primarily on the left side), while Anderson played all of his tackle opportunities on the right along with time at center.
