For the first time since the 1996 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected an offensive tackle in the first round when they drafted Broderick Jones in 2023. That, along with the signing of OG Isaac Seumalo in free agency and the drafting of Spencer Anderson in the seventh round was just the start of the offensive line overhaul. Fast forward to the 2024 NFL Draft. The Steelers used a first-, second-, and fourth-round pick to complete the youth movement along the offensive line.
One of the big reasons for the renewed focus on the offensive line is the leadership in the front office.
