What is next for former first-round pick Broderick Jones? The second-year OT has not taken the leap that is expected from players after their first full offseason in the NFL. After a very shaky preseason, Jones got exactly one start in the regular season before the right tackle job was given to Troy Fautanu.
At first, it was a rotation with Fautanu getting the start and Jones coming off the bench. That didn’t go so well, which caused a premature end to the rotation after a three-penalty drive for Jones.
Head coach Mike Tomlin told the media that Jones will be given opportunities to overcome his struggles, but it is unclear exactly what that might mean.
