Zach Frazier was the culmination of a mission the Steelers set out for themselves last offseason. After recent failures, they wanted to find the next great Steelers center. They believe they have it in Frazier, the second-round pick out of West Virginia.
While he didn’t make the Pro Bowl from the jump like Maurkice Pouncey, Frazier also started as a rookie. He played all but two games, only missing time due to an ankle injury in the middle of the season. In a twist of irony, the injury likely would have been worse if not for a previous injury in college.
