It was a relatively quiet move among the flurry of ones the Pittsburgh Steelers made in the offseason, but the addition of veteran offensive lineman Trent Scott could prove to be an underrated one overall.
A five-year NFL veteran with 53 career games under his belt, including 19 starts at three different positions, Scott brings a ton of versatility and experience to a relatively young offensive line overall. It helps that he’s quite familiar with new Steelers’ offensive line coach Pat Meyer, having spent time with him with the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers.
In fact, Scott — who spoke with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski during minicamp — stated that he believes Meyer made the push for the Steelers to bring him in along the offensive line, giving Meyer someone to help lead a young group based on his coaching philosophies and techniques.
