When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected offensive tackle Broderick Jones in the first round of the 2023 draft, most fans expected him to come in as the starting left tackle. That was not the case. Dan Moore Jr. ended up holding onto the left tackle job last year, and Jones was only inserted into the lineup at right tackle after Chukwuma Okorafor was benched. Jones’ play was up and down throughout his rookie year, but overall, he was as advertised and looks to be a building block for the Steelers going forward. It seems that time spent sitting on the bench was crucial for Jones.
