Felt like there were a lot hyped rookie offensive lineman and even though the position can be hard to grow into from college to pros I didn’t know if one of these rookies has stood out at all?

Not sure he’s been THE best but the difference in our run game has been night and day since Broderick Jones started getting starting reps
Man I really wish we just took Carter and Dawand
JMS on the Giants has been improving. Which is good
I’m not sure, I haven’t been watching the rookie tackle film
Bro Jones
Broddy “The Body” Jones
From what I can tell they’ve all been mostly pretty good, which I found surprising.
Jebus Crypes
Surprised Bergeron hasn’t been mentioned yet.
Dawand Jones.
Everyone is a distant second in the pass blocking game.
All things considered, Paris Johnson has played well.
Darnell Wright has been extremely promising, albeit making the kind of rookie mistakes you’re hoping he cleans up in a year or two, including committing way too many penalties
Biased answer. Darnell Wright is the real deal.
More objective answer. Dawand Jones is probably going to be a great player that everyone will regret passing on.
i wanted him in the 5th
Saw a stat that Anton has the most snaps of any right tackle in one on one snaps. No help. Look who he’s gone against. Other than jones who whooped him he’s held up and being alone that much. He’s damn good
Darnell Washington
We got the 2/1 combo deal
I like that kid in Cleveland- he looked pretty good against TJ Watt.
Then, of course, I’m kinda partial to Broderick who has done very well even though he’s playing a different side than he did at Georgia.
Broderick Jones has played starter-level snaps (85% or more) in 6 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 149.5 rushing yards per game. In 5 of 6 games the Steelers have rushed for more than 100 yards, including a high of 205.
He’s played bench-level snaps (10% or less) in 5 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 71.4 rushing yards per game. In just 1 of 5 did they rush for more than 100, a paltry 105.
In the last 3 games the Steelers lead the NFL, averaging 176.7 rushing yards per game.
Barring injury, Chukwuma Okorafor will be sitting on the bench of rest of the season.
What I’m seeing is you need to clone him and then have him play all 5 spots and 2 TE spots. Hell, line him up in the slot too. 8 Broderick Jones. 1 WR out wide for the random deep pass and a QB and RB. If one Broderick Jones is worth an average of 78 rushing yards per game, then 8 will be 624.8 rushing yards per game. And that average is based on throwing the ball probably over half the time
I’d have to take Dawand Jones over him pretty easy
