Part two of our 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers “what they look for” study. By reader request, we’re looking at the offensive tackles who best fit the Steelers’ past criteria. This is an exciting one because we’ve never done a “look for” study on tackles. Largely because of sample-size issues, the Steelers just don’t draft many of them, but I took another look at the numbers this year and there’s just enough there for us to make it work.
As I did with the cornerback room, I’ll repeat a change in our overall criteria and data-gathering this year due to the continued increase of Combine participants who don’t go through the full workouts, making it hard for them to even be eligible to “check all the boxes.
