There was a time not too long ago as the college football offenses are changing, and thus changing NFL offenses, during which it was becoming very difficult to find top-end offensive line talent. Too many players were stuck between philosophies, but as the NFL more and more adapts to the talent now coming out, the balance is shifting once again.
This is good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team aware that its three most prominent offensive linemen—and potentially four of its five starters this year—are already on the wrong side of 30. That makes it all the more imperative that they find out this year if they have some starters among their young players.
