Maybe Broderick Jones doesn’t become the stud left tackle the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up for to draft. The team can live with that.

“At this point, I think you would just settle for him being like an above-average tackle, not necessarily someone who’s gonna play to a number 14 overall pick,” Fittipaldo said during a Wednesday interview on 93.
