While the Pittsburgh Steelers are (currently) down three offensive linemen from last season, one of the surprises of the summer so far has been, in my opinion, how well the depth of the group has held up to scrutiny—and pass-rushers—so far.
Pittsburgh had perhaps the deepest group of linemen last season that they’ve ever had, including Chris Hubbard as a very reliable backup tackle who started the majority of the season at right tackle and earned himself a starting contract with the Cleveland Browns this season.
Jerald Hawkins was supposed to be the player who would step up and take over that swing tackle role, but a season-ending injury during OTAs caused that plan to go belly-up.
