Trai Essex: Steelers ‘Got Some Dogs’ Along OL For First Time Since ‘Pouncey, Foster, DeCastro Days’

Entering the offseason after the hiring of offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the Pittsburgh Steelers set out to get more physical in the trenches offensively and really lean into the ground-and-pound attack.

Consider that a job well done. Pittsburgh landed Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick in the NFL draft, adding serious size, power and attitude to the offensive line moving forward.

For former Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex, who appeared on the 93.7 The Fan Morning Show Friday, it’s about time the Steelers brought in guys who not only fit what it means to be Steelers but also the style they want to play offensively.
