Mike Munchak’s Success Turning UDFAs Into Contributors Critical To OL Depth

During the early portions of head coach Mike Tomlin’s tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was something of a pattern to the manner in which he dealt with new coaches on his staff. When a new coach was brought in, he had a tendency to try to stock his shelves with new talent in the draft to give him the best chance to succeed.

Offensive line coach Mike Munchak has been the exception to that rule, somewhat. During his four seasons with the Steelers, the team has only drafted two offensive linemen, and both of them have come on the final day of the draft.
