While the popular perception, perhaps rightly, seems to be that second-year offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva is far and away the frontrunner to start the 2016 regular season as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting left tackle, where he ended last season, the Steelers have maintained that they brought in veteran free agent Ryan Harris for a reason.
Yesterday, we saw the 31-year-old journeyman tackle lining up with the starting, ‘first-team’ offensive line, along with the usual suspects, in a sight we were long warned that we would see once training camp rolled around, and the expectation should be to get used to seeing him mixed in with the starting group over the course of the next month.
