With the team’s 2022 training camp now underway, tackle is perhaps the Pittsburgh Steelers’ least experienced and proven position on the team’s current roster as they prepare for the regular season. Currently, the two projected starters at the tackle position are Dan Moore Jr., a second-year player, and the re-signed Chukwuma Okorafor. In keeping the tackle duo together after a poor 2021 season, the Steelers appear to be banking on the development of 23-year-old Moore and 24-year-old Okorafor, which is not an unreasonable strategy at face value.
An addition of someone to challenge for the starting role, or to serve as depth, is certainly plausible as the Steelers have a history of post-training camp trades to solidify less-than-satisfactory positions.
