As a rookie in 2023, Broderick Jones had quite a few veterans to lean on along the offensive line for the Pittsburgh Steelers while transitioning to the NFL.
Now, as a second-year player, Jones is aiming to be that steady presence for a trio of rookies up front in Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick as they make their transition to the NFL.
For Jones, it’s all about helping try and take the edge off all the information and new things that are flying at the rookies, helping them process and adjust while providing them with someone to lean on who went through the same thing a calendar year ago.
