Study: Is It Realistic For Steelers To Make Playoffs Starting Two Rookie O-Linemen?

It is quite possible that the Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2024 season starting two rookie offensive linemen in Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu. It’s not a guarantee at this point, as some believe that Dan Moore Jr. could hold onto a starting spot coming out of camp. But it is certainly well within the realm of possibility that the two rookies will be the starters.

That reality led me to see how realistic a playoff berth with two rookies starting on the o-line would be. And I must say, the results shocked me. I was sure that it would be rare, an almost certain improbability.
