The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft to get their starting left tackle. Not in 2024 but this season. The Steelers hope they accomplished their task when they went up for former Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones.
Tomlin spoke to the media after the pick and gave the fans encouragement that Jones has huge potential but is not a project player. “He’s got big-time upside, but I also say he’s a really good player right now,” Tomlin said. “The upside is tremendous. He’s a diaper dandy.”
