There is a reason the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up in the 2023 NFL Draft to select Georgia tackle Broderick Jones. Jones, despite being raw, is an athletic freak who has one of the highest ceilings of tackles in this year’s draft class. If he pans out, Pittsburgh could have their left tackle position sorted for at least a decade.

On Movin’ The Chains on SiriusXM NFL Rado with Pat Kirwan and former Steelers quarterback Jim Miller, Kirwan gave high praise for Jones, calling him the best in the draft.

“I’m the biggest Jones fan from the draft of all the tackles,” said Kirwan, a former NFL scout and coach.
