Hall Of Famer Russ Grimm Says Steelers Rookie Linemen Will Be ‘Fine’ Starting Early

After investing heavily in the offensive line during the 2024 NFL Draft, the Steelers seem poised to have two rookie starters in Week 1 of the season in OT Troy Fautanu and C Zach Frazier.

While the inexperience may be viewed by some as a cause for concern, former Steelers assistant coach Russ Grimm seems to disagree.

“I get the right type of guys and the right mindset in that offensive line room. I think they are going to be fine,” said Grimm on 93.7 The Fan.

Grimm, better known for his play as a Hall-of-Fame lineman, referenced his 1981 Washington team where he and two other rookie offensive linemen started.
