When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up to select offensive tackle Broderick Jones at No. 14 in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the franchise viewed the Georgia product as the future starter at the left tackle position in front of franchise quarterback Kenny Pickett.
Though he still has some developing to do before he reaches those lofty expectations, Jones is turning some heads on the Steelers’ coaching staff.
Offensive line coach Pat Meyer, who has kept a close eye on Jones through rookie minicamp and OTAs and now into mandatory minicamp, believes that his new prized possession on the offensive line in Jones has all the tools to be a great player in the NFL.
