‘Reminds You Of The Old Days’: Art Rooney II Praises Mason McCormick, Other Rookie Linemen

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ philosophy on constructing their roster has been very clear since general manager Omar Khan and assistant general manager Andy Weidl took over. Football is won in the trenches, and the Steelers seem hyper aware of that now more than ever. In a matter of two offseasons, they have completely rebuilt the offensive line.

They traded up to draft Broderick Jones in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, then selected OL Spencer Anderson in the seventh round. Then in 2024, they drafted three offensive linemen out of their first five picks. That includes first-round OT Troy Fautanu, second-round C Zach Frazier and fourth-round OG Mason McCormick.
