For three years now, Dan Moore Jr. has held down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting left tackle position. It is a position that is widely regarded as one of the most difficult to play. There is a reason that top-tier left tackles are now making $30 million per season. There aren’t that many people on the planet with the requisite size, length, athleticism, and the technique needed to succeed against the elite pass rushers in today’s NFL.
Initially thrust into the role as a rookie, Moore definitely took his lumps. But despite the Steelers challenging him with competition, Moore has continued to hold onto the starting job.
