Former Steelers DL Chris Hoke Believes Rookie Zach Frazier Will ‘Secure’ Center Spot ‘In Next Few Weeks’

Though he is listed as the backup at the center position and didn’t see action Friday night in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans until the third drive of the game, rookie second-round pick Zach Frazier could find himself in the starting lineup rather quickly.

At least, that’s how former Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive lineman Chris Hoke sees it.

Appearing on the KDKA Nightly Sports Call Friday night after the Steelers’ 20-12 loss to the Texans in what was a rather sloppy ffair, Hoke said he believes that Frazier is going to grab the starting job in the next few weeks due to a strong showing in his NFL debut as well as current starting center Nate Herbig’s issues on Friday night.
