When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. out of Texas A&M in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the expectation was Moore would come in and sit behind guys like Chukwuma Okorafor, Zach Banner and Joe Haeg to learn the nuances of the position and add strength in an NFL environment.
He might not do much sitting at this point if what former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz is hearing though.
Schwartz, sitting in as a co-host on the Minus Three Podcast August 3 with former NFL Network personality Dave Dameshek, stated he’s hearing that Moore is the frontrunner in the left tackle battle, which became a battle in training camp due to Okorafor’s inability to stay on the field, along with his struggles in the run game as a blocker.
