No position on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster has embodied the franchise’s tradition of continuity and excellence quite like center. Since 1966, they’ve had a franchise-caliber center for 53 of 59 possible seasons with guys like Mike Webster, Dermontti Dawson and Maurkice Pouncey headlining the list. And now, rookie Zach Frazier looks poised to carry that torch for the next decade.
Former Steelers OL Trai Essex was asked about Frazier’s potential and had some glowing things to say about the young center via 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show.
“I think he could be one of the next great centers in a long line of great centers in Steelers history,” Essex said.
