Tomlin Says Hassenauer Was Upgrade At Center Late In Season; Won’t Rule Out Green Moving To Guard

The Pittsburgh Steelers closed out their 2022 season with J.C. Hassenauer starting at center over rookie Kendrick Green, the team’s 2021 third-round draft pick. That move in the final three games want overly surprising based on the way Green had played all season. With Green seemingly being benched in favor of Hassenauer to close out the season, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked to comment on that topic during his Tuesday end-of-season press conference. Tomlin was asked about the move to Hassenauer from Green to close out the season and if indeed the rookie might have a move to guard in his future.
