For the second time this season, rookie T Broderick Jones showed the Pittsburgh Steelers exactly why they traded up in the first round to draft him. Making his first career start at left tackle on Thursday night after previously starting a game at left tackle, he put on tape what he needed to, even as he strives for consistency.
One observer who was particularly impressed is Brian Baldinger, who broke down some of Jones’ best plays from the Steelers’ last game against the Tennessee Titans, concluding that he was “fantastic in his debut at right tackle”.
Given where he was on the field, there was one player in particular who was his concern, though perhaps it was the other way around.
