Mike Tomlin Not Surprised By Significant Growth From Dan Moore Jr., Says Playing In SEC Is ‘Like Dog Years’ In Terms Of Experience

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted two offensive linemen in the middle rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. One of them was in the first-string lineup during team drills in today’s practice, and it wasn’t third-round center Kendrick Green, who had an excused absence, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

It was Dan Moore Jr., the fourth-round pick out of Texas A&M, but, for the first time since he was drafted, he was lining up on the right side of the offensive line. He actually started the first preseason game last week, playing left tackle, while Chukwuma Okorafor was out.
