Out of all the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie draft picks, no player has a better chance to be the Week 1 starter than C Zach Frazier. After releasing Mason Cole prior to free agency, one of the biggest needs on the roster was at center, and they filled that need with the No. 51 pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Mike Tomlin has traditionally been thoughtful with how he brings rookies along, even if they are high draft picks. We saw that a year ago with Broderick Jones waiting until Week 9 to become the full-time starter.
