Kendrick Green Credits Fellow Centers, And D-Line, For Helping Him Progress As Rookie

Change is coming to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line, an unavoidable reality of losing four starters in one offseason. Earlier today, head coach Mike Tomlin declared all positions (not just those on the offensive line) open for competition, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t favorites.

Take Kendrick Green, for example. The rookie third-round pick is the presumed starter at center, but whether or not it turns out that way is yet to be determined. He still has to compete with B.J. Finney and J.C. Hassenauer, two more experienced veterans who do have some starts under their belt.

Despite the atmosphere of competition, though, Green says that his fellow centers have been helpful as he transitions to the NFL, and to the center position on a full-time basis.
