As part of a relatively reshuffled interior offensive line, incumbent starting left guard Kevin Dotson finds himself in a training camp competition. After struggling with injuries and overall inconsistent play in 2021, the former fourth-round draft pick will have to hold off 2021 third-round pick Kendrick Green at left guard.
Dotson, speaking with reporters Thursday on the final day of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ mandatory minicamp at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, revealed that he’s competing with Green, who was the Steelers’ starting center last season but is moving back to his more nature position of guard this season after struggling mightily at center.
