The Pittsburgh Steelers set out to find their next great center this offseason, and they believe Zach Frazier is that. Or at least he has the potential to ascend to those levels. Drafted in the middle of the second round, general manager Omar Khan concedes they considered trading up to get him.
Since Maurkice Pouncey retired at the end of the 2020 season, the center position has been rocky in Pittsburgh. They swung and missed projecting 2021 rookie Kendrick Green to center. Replacing him with veteran Mason Cole in free agency the following offseason, they released Cole in February.
