Realistically, Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor won’t have to face off against a better pass rusher in the NFL all season long — and maybe for his entire career — than the one he finds himself going against each day in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.
Okorafor finds himself lined up across from the reigning Defensive Player of the Year each snap in training camp, putting his feet to the fire right away from a pass protection and run blocking standpoint early in camp. Though Okorafor didn’t get to prepare against Watt last season in training camp as Watt conducted a hold-in for a new deal that he eventually received, the two are rather familiar with each other, going against one another in practices all season long.
