Former O-Lineman Discusses Broderick Jones, Difficulty Of Flipping Sides

There’s no Pittsburgh Steeler feeling the heat like third-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones. Coming off a poor 2024 campaign, the team is trusting him to protect his quarterback’s blindside, replacing Dan Moore Jr. at left tackle. For his first offseason, Jones knows exactly where he’ll line up. Former offensive lineman A.Q. Shipley believes that will do Jones plenty of good.

Joining the Kaboly + Mack podcast Thursday, Shipley discussed the difficulty of linemen who are constantly shuffled around.

“The problem is with a young guy and you’re only a one side guy for the most part for your career, you’ve always been the best,” Shipley told hosts Mark Kaboly and Chris Mack.
