Despite making a clear upgrade at the center position with the selection of Zach Frazier in the 2024 NFL Draft to replace the released Mason Cole, the Pittsburgh Steelers are somehow worse off in Pro Football Focus’ position rankings.
Last summer, PFF ranked Cole 22nd among centers entering the 2023 season. This summer, Frazier — who has yet to play an NFL snap but was arguably the top center in the draft class — checks in at No. 29.
Frazier finds himself one spot behind Tampa Bay’s Graham Barton, another rookie, who is making a shift from tackle in college to center in the NFL.
