‘Quality Starter Out Of The Gate’: Zach Frazier The Best Rookie OL In Preseason For Brandon Thorn

Not everything has gone right for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the trenches offensively so far this summer, particularly in the preseason.

Injuries and poor play have really hindered the Steelers’ rebuilt offensive line, leading to many questions and frustrations with veteran OL coach Pat Meyer.

But the Steelers can take some comfort in the fact that rookie center Zach Frazier was as advertised, performing like that true franchise center moving forward that many believe he is.

That includes offensive line guru and Trench Warfare creator Brandon Thorn.

In a piece for Trench Warfare Monday evening, Thorn named Frazier the best rookie offensive lineman of the preseason, and called him a “quality starter out of the gate” for the Black and Gold at a key position.
