Dan Moore Jr. fell into a starting role as a rookie in 2021. He was all set to be the swing tackle behind Chukwuma Okorafor at left tackle and Zach Banner at right tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers, until Banner had a setback in his recovery from a torn ACL. With Banner out of the equation, they shifted Okorafor back to the left side and plugged Moore in at left tackle.
He did not have any meaningful competition last year, the most notable tackle they brought in being Trent Scott. But now that Broderick Jones is here, he knows there is an intended end point to his tenure.
