Rookie Kendrick Green Named Steelers’ ‘Secret Weapon’

Yet to play an NFL snap, let alone grab a starting job, Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie center Kendrick Green continues to receive a lot of attention and hype.

The latest round of attention and hype for Green comes from Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox, who named the rookie the team’s secret weapon as a player who flies under the radar and isn’t as well-known ahead of the 2021 season.

Green, a third-round pick out of Illinois, is likely going to win the Steelers’ starting center job in training camp over J.C. Hassenauer and B.J. Finney and take over for the retirement of Maurkice Pouncey in the offseason.
