Illinois center/guard Kendrick Green wasn’t the most popular name linked to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he was the team’s pick. And NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein thinks it was a great pick.
Yesterday, he released an article with his three favorite selections of each round. Green showed up on the list as one of the top three in the third. Here’s what he wrote about the pick.
“The Steelers’ running game has been stuck in the mud for a while now, but Green (along with Najee Harris, of course) could help change that. The former Illini lineman is tremendously quick off the snap, and his move blocking should allow the Steelers to widen out their rushing attack and get defenders off their spots.
