Mike Tomlin has made it no secret who he thinks wins football games in today’s NFL. The big guys. The Steelers have put their money and draft picks where their mouth is over the last few years as well. They’ve spent back-to-back first-round picks on offensive linemen in Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, and in 2023, they didn’t stop in the first. They added Zach Frazier in the second, and Mason McCormick in the fourth, filling their hole at center with Frazier, and added some depth all across the line in McCormick.
McCormick was a surprising pick, considering the Steelers have solid guard play in James Daniels and Isaac Seumalo and didn’t have a glaring need at the position.
