Offensive tackle Broderick Jones, like most rookies in the Pittsburgh Steelers 2023 class, has had to grow up fast. Gone are the days of waiting your turn, sitting on the bench for a year (or two), while veterans get the nod.
Jones became a starting lineup regular in Week Nine, tasked with adjusting to right tackle. Not only has he played well, Mike Tomlin sees him quickly emerging as a leader along the Steelers’ offensive line.
In his weekly interview with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola, Tomlin said Jones was the team’s “bell cow” who led by action in the team’s Week 17 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
