When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted C Zach Frazier in 2024, they hoped that he could be the next in a long line of great Steelers centers. Only time will tell if he’ll ever be mentioned alongside legends like Dermontti Dawson, Mike Webster, and Maurkice Pouncey. However, his rookie season could not have gone any better.
Per The 33rd Team, Frazier was the best pass-blocking rookie offensive lineman in the NFL last year. He was on the field for 513 pass-blocking snaps and only allowed 12 pressures. That is a pressure rate of 2.3 percent, 0.6 percent better than the second-best, Dallas Cowboys C Cooper Beebe.
