Felt like there were a lot hyped rookie offensive lineman and even though the position can be hard to grow into from college to pros I didn’t know if one of these rookies has stood out at all?

I like that kid in Cleveland- he looked pretty good against TJ Watt.

Then, of course, I’m kinda partial to Broderick who has done very well even though he’s playing a different side than he did at Georgia.

Broderick Jones has played starter-level snaps (85% or more) in 6 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 149.5 rushing yards per game. In 5 of 6 games the Steelers have rushed for more than 100 yards, including a high of 205.

He's played bench-level snaps (10% or less) in 5 games. In those games, the Steelers have averaged 71.4 rushing yards per game. In just 1 of 5 did they rush for more than 100, a paltry 105.

In the last 3 games the Steelers lead the NFL, averaging 176.7 rushing yards per game.

Barring injury, Chukwuma Okorafor will be sitting on the bench of rest of the season.

What I'm seeing is you need to clone him and then have him play all 5 spots and 2 TE spots. Hell, line him up in the slot too. 8 Broderick Jones. 1 WR out wide for the random deep pass and a QB and RB. If one Broderick Jones is worth an average of 78 rushing yards per game, then 8 will be 624.8 rushing yards per game. And that average is based on throwing the ball probably over half the time

I'd have to take Dawand Jones over him pretty easy
