When the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line takes the field Monday night in the team’s 2016 regular season opener against the Washington Redskins, four of those players surely won’t have to introduce themselves to one of the defensive ends on the other side of the line of scrimmage.
In case you haven’t heard by now, former Steelers first-round draft pick Ziggy Hood is expected to start at left defensive end Monday night for the Redskins after winning the job during training camp.
“Once we got the pads on him was really when he stood out,” Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said of Hood recently, according to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
