The Steelers couldn’t pass up on Mason McCormick in the fourth round, but did they see another potential Ramon Foster? Perhaps so, even if they didn’t directly invoke the name. As Foster shared recently, the Steelers had a fourth-round grade on him, even though he went undrafted.
But Foster certainly had a fourth-round pick’s career, or better. Over 11 years, he started 145 games, earning a full-time starting job in 2012, Year 4. Although he started most of the previous season, he did so only after Willie Colon’s season-opening injury. Similarly, Mason McCormick started most of last season, but only due to injury.
