Zach Frazier embodies the phrase every coach and fan wants to hear. “As-advertised.” And Arthur Smith isn’t afraid to sing a rookie’s praises. Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Smith complimented Frazier’s readiness. Which is good considering he’s slated to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting center after Nate Herbig tore his rotator cuff.
“I think he’s very mature guy,” Smith told reporters of Frazier via Yardbarker’s Aaron Becker. “You’re gonna ask your center to do a lot, but I’d say of any rookie, he’s probably the most prepped. And we thought that when we drafted him and since he’s been in this building, he’s as-advertised.
