It almost seems as though there hasn’t been a day that has gone by since Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak was hired by the team that he hasn’t been lavished with praise—even before he worked with the players. His reputation preceded him in that regard and was called the biggest acquisition of that offseason, even beyond their draft picks, which included Ryan Shazier.
Five years on, the truth is that that may not be wrong. Shazier proved to be everything draft experts thought he could be, becoming a Pro Bowler before he suffered a career-threatening spinal injury late last season.
