If you want to run the football in the National Football League, you need some offensive linemen who play with a certain edge, bring a mauling mentality to the position and look to impose their will on defenders snap after snap.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have at least one offensive lineman who operates like that.
That would be rookie right tackle Broderick Jones.
Jones brought that mauling, finishing mindset from the University of Georgia, so he didn’t need to learn it or try and uncover it in the NFL. Now that he continues to get more and more comfortable at right tackle after being inserted into the starting lineup in Week Nine on a short week against the Tennessee Titans, the first-round pick is starting to show that physical presence more and more.
