Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Pat Meyer is big on teaching his own technique and philosophies to his offensive linemen. As part of that, he likes his linemen to make contact first in pass protection, and he’ll work to teach rookies or new offensive linemen the group philosophy when they come to Pittsburgh. Fourth-round pick Mason McCormick has worked with Meyer for just a few months now, and he said that Meyer has already changed his technique “a decent amount,” and the changes make him excited for his future.
“He’s changed it up a decent amount, and I’ve been trying it and just going out there, not nervous to fail or anything, and it’s helped me a ton already.
