Entering the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers have one need on the roster that is more glaring than others. It’s not wide receiver, offensive tackle or even cornerback. It’s well-known that it’s the center position.
After releasing center Mason Cole in late February after two seasons with the Steelers, Pittsburgh under GM Omar Khan never addressed the position in the offseason, instead continuing to talk up the likes of Nate Herbig and Spencer Anderson as options at center.
But those two can’t be viewed as long-term options at the position, especially when Anderson had just five games at center in college and Herbig has just 49 career snaps at center in the NFL.
