As least as far as the interior is concerned, B.J. Finney has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ ‘sixth man’ along the offensive line for four years. Over that course of time, he has been plugged in at either left guard, right guard, or center for 12 career starts. The team just so happens to have gone 10-2 in those games.
Is his time as the sixth man up? That is the question of the offseason, and the follow-up to that would be, if so, then with whom? The Steelers have long held that Finney is the type of player for whom the designation ‘starter in waiting’ really applies.
