Steelers Reshape Offensive Line at OTAs, Try Rookie Max Iheanachor at Multiple Spots

The early shuffle signals a push to protect newly re-signed Aaron Rodgers.

Overview

  • The first-team line Monday featured Troy Fautanu at left tackle, Mason McCormick at left guard, Spencer Anderson at right guard, Dylan Cook at right tackle, and Zach Frazier at center.
  • Rookie Max Iheanachor worked with the second unit at right tackle Monday, and coaches said Tuesday they will try him at multiple positions during OTAs.
  • Fautanu said he does not want to play guard but would do it if asked, and he opened OTAs taking first-team reps on the left side.
  • Broderick Jones attended in a helmet but sat out team periods as he returns from neck surgery and after Pittsburgh declined his fifth-year option.
  • With Isaac Seumalo now on the Cardinals, the Steelers are filling left guard from within for now, with McCormick leading and third-round pick Gennings Dunker in the competition through the offseason.
