After seeing an increase in center work this week in practice, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie offensive lineman Mason McCormick put some of that center work into game action Saturday.
In the fourth quarter of the preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, McCormick entered at center in front of fourth-string quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, giving McCormick his first action at center this summer, which also happened to be the first snaps at QB this preseason for Plumlee.

During his time in college at South Dakota State, McCormick played just 15 snaps at center.
