It’s no secret the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line was well below-average in 2021. Kendrick Green, a guard for most of his college career, struggled as a rookie as Pittsburgh’s starting center, G Kevin Dotson got hurt and didn’t come back the same while G Trai Turner wasn’t all that impressive. The same can be said for OTs Dan Moore Jr. and Chukwuma Okorafor, although Moore improved throughout the course of the year and Okorafor was thrust out of his natural right tackle position right before the season started.
Pittsburgh’s front office set out this offseason to improve the offensive line and did so by bringing in both Mason Cole and James Daniels.
