The Pittsburgh Steelers have long prided themselves in having prolific centers on their roster nearly every decade since the 1970’s. Mike Webster, Dermontti Dawson, Jeff Hartings, and Maurkice Pouncey make up the list of talented individuals who have delivered a football into many Steelers quarterback’s hands over multiple seasons.
With twenty-two Pro Bowl appearances between the four of them it is no secret that they have been catalysts on the Steelers’ offensive line during their respective tenures with the team. With an untimely injury to Pouncey, the current figurehead on Pittsburgh’s line of defense for franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the organization has been forced to take an unconventional approach to keeping their signal caller upright.
