A year and a half ago, Spencer Anderson seemed like a longshot to make the Pittsburgh Steelers 53-man roster. A rookie seventh-round pick, he could now open the 2024 season as a starter—albeit a temporary one. He is in contention to fill in for left guard Isaac Seumalo, who is sidelined for a few weeks.
That’s not bad considering he hardly played there in college. Though Anderson has guard experience, and even center, he was primarily a tackle at Maryland. And that’s how he saw himself—until he had to step in. Now he is embracing it, hoping to make it his own.
