This offseason saw a lot of change for the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially on the offensive side of the ball. As such, there are a few spots of strength and weakness on that unit, and one major variable is the offensive line. That group remained intact this offseason, and despite some strong performances last year, it’s still unproven heading into 2025. On Friday, The Athletic’s Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen ranked the supporting casts in the AFC, and Mays put the Steelers 11th. Most of his reasoning revolved around the youth on the Steelers’ offensive line.
“I think the Steelers’ offensive line is more of a theory… We haven’t really seen [Troy] Fautanu play, and Broderick Jones is moving back to the left side… I still think you have a little bit of projection with [Mason] McCormick, there’s still youth there.
