Former Steelers OT Chukwuma Okorafor Named Top-10 Free Agent Tackle By CBS Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently moved on from OT Chukwuma Okorafor after he spent six seasons with the team. He was one of the very few offensive players on the Steelers’ roster who was on a second contract, but he was benched in favor of rookie OT Broderick Jones in the middle of the season for something he said during the Steelers’ Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin released his list of top-10 free agent tackles this year and had Okorafor listed eighth.

Okorafor actually had the highest average annual value (AAV) of the tackles on the list, though he is far from having the highest pedigree.
