The post-draft buzz brought hype and promise for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line. But a week away from the regular season, hype and promise have turned to concern. One of the biggest questions entering Week One is who will be the Steelers’ starting tackles.
If preseason play has anything to do with it, LT Dan Moore Jr. is the only person who should feel safe. Although Moore has struggled in the regular season throughout his NFL career, an average tackle at best, he’s also been Pittsburgh’s best and most consistent tackle this offseason. Even with Moore’s strong play, the goal was to start 2023 first-round draft pick Broderick Jones at left tackle and 2024 first-round pick Troy Fautanu at right tackle.
