Much of the attention offensively for the Pittsburgh Steelers throughout the offseason has been focused on the changes at quarterback and the additions at wide receiver, and rightfully so.
Names like Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett, not to mention George Pickens and Calvin Austin III move the needle in an exciting way. For the casual observers, a name like Mason Cole doesn’t. That’s just the way it is today in the NFL.
That said, there may not be a more important player to the Steelers’ offensive success this season — outside of whomever wins the starting quarterback job — than Cole, who joined the Steelers on a three-year, $15.
