There are many holes to fill out on the Steelers’ roster before they can be mentioned amongst the league’s elite, and offensive line is arguably the biggest, specifically the center position. Rookie Kendrick Green, a college guard, was trying to make the transition to the pivot spot, and was thrust into the starting lineup. With numerous botched snaps and plays of him getting rag-dolled, he’s often labeled a scapegoat for the line’s struggles overall.
The team isn’t being shy about their interest in fortifying the line, and our very own Jonathan Heitritter caught up with the top-ranked center in this year’s draft, University of Iowa’s Tyler Linderbaum of Iowa, at the NFL Combine.
