We are already heading toward late June, and thus far, every indication that the Pittsburgh Steelers have given is that they view second-year lineman Dan Moore Jr. as their left tackle for the 2022 season. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick started all but one game there last season, missing one due to injury, and they have not brought in any notable competition even though he had a very uneven year.
The plan wasn’t for him to start for the vast majority of the offseason, but a week or two in advance of the season opener, projected right tackle Zach Banner had a setback with his knee, which caused the coaches to decide to move Chukwuma Okorafor back from left tackle to the right side to allow the rookie Moore to start on the left, where he played in college and where he looked much more comfortable.
