The Pittsburgh Steelers needed options at center once Maurkice Pouncey announced his retirement. While they retained J.C. Hassenauer from last season, they also brought back B.J. Finney as a free agent. They used the 2021 NFL Draft to bring in Kendrick Green, who has started each of the first two preseason games. But while they have been impressed with his work, offensive line coach Adrian Klemm let it be known that the battle is ongoing.
“Everything’s up for grabs. There’s nothing set in stone”, he told reporters after practice when asked about Hassenauer running with the ones today with Green having an excused absence, and the state of the position.
