Steelers give Kendrick Green a boost of confidence, yet don’t declare him the starting center

If there is one player the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base isolated throughout the 2021 season who they felt was a huge reason for the offense’s failures, it would be rookie Kendrick Green. Green, who only played a handful of games at center during his Senior season at Illinois, was thrust into the starting role in his first year as a professional. Would it have been ideal to allow Green to sit and learn before starting? Absolutely, but this wasn’t the case for the Steelers in 2021.

Green’s play was considered so bad many are wondering what his role on the team will be in 2022.
