Trai Essex Loves ‘The Way That Dan Moore [Jr.] Came In And Fought For His Position’

When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft to select LT Broderick Jones with the 14th overall pick, most fans assumed LT Dan Moore Jr.’s days were numbered.

However, throughout training camp and preseason, Moore has held onto the starting left tackle job. His quality performance has certainly caught the eye of former Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex. Essex joined Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller of the PM Team on 93.7 The Fan Monday and gave his thoughts on Moore.

“You’ve got to love the way that Dan Moore came in and fought for his position and how he’s performed up to this point,” Essex said.
