The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a guard last year and asked him to start at center. At least, that wouldn’t be a totally inappropriate description of 2021 third-round draft pick Kendrick Green and his rookie season. Having primarily played guard in college (he had four total starts at center), he was named the day-one starting center, where he worked all offseason, even while openly acknowledging that he wasn’t really comfortable many aspects of it.
Just how uncomfortable was he? Well, speaking to reporters during OTAs, to put numbers on it, he said that his comfort level during his rookie season with the center position was at a two, according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
