The first-round pick from Georgia. The fourth-round pick from South Dakota State. Two different paths led Broderick Jones and Mason McCormick to the same place, starting on the right side of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line. A duo that wasn’t even expected to happen this year until veteran James Daniels tore his Achilles in Week 4 as the Steelers consistently shuffled their front five throughout the first seven weeks. For Jones, he’s impressed by the job McCormick has done.
“Mason’s crazy. He plays with a different style than I expected, honestly,” Jones said via the team’s Twitter/X page.
