2020 was not an ideal year for anybody to be drafted, but perhaps especially not for an offensive lineman being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was in the second year after Mike Munchak left as offensive coordinator, with it becoming increasingly apparent that his assistant, Shaun Sarrett, was not going to be the answer.
While he made it through the season, it was arguably just barely, and the team ultimately promoted his assistant, who was first hired in 2019, Adrian Klemm. He didn’t make it out of year one before leaving for a college job, replaced in-season by his own assistant, Chris Morgan, who also was not retained this offseason.
