Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Report: Zach Frazier Will Wear No. 54 with Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-round selection Zach Frazier will wear No. 54 with the Steelers, according to NFL Jersey Numbers. Frazier donned No. 54 during his four years as a West Virginia Mountaineer, so it’s not surprising that he stuck with that number. Linebacker Kwon Alexander in 2023 was the last Steeler to rep No. 54.

Marv Kellum, Craig Bingham, Hardy Nickerson, Mike Schneck and L.J. Fort are some notable past Steelers players to have worn No. 54.

Frazier’s No. 54 is the same range as Mike Webster’s...

Originally appeared at Steelers Now: Steelers Draft Grades: Mason McCormick Sets up Succession Plan at Guard

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have beef up front. They added another offensive lineman in South Dakota State guard Mason McCormick. So, now the Steelers draft haul includes three athletic linemen that can move in space and offer them so significant versatility throughout their offense.

The Beatdown crew react to the Ravens’ Day 3 selections of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Round 4, Pick No. 113 — Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina

‘Tez’ represents an outstanding selection at the intersection of need and value. With an impressive 9.76 relative athletic score, Walker boasts the length and deep speed to thrive as a linear receiver in the Ravens offense. His superb ball tracking flashes on tape but he could stand to improve his route precision at the next level. Schematically, his field stretching ability should help alleviate extra bodies from the box, benefitting the rushing attack...

Entering the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers very clearly had a plan in place to address the offensive line.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the middle of an offensive line rebuild for years now, and that rebuild has been mostly unsuccessful until the last couple of years. They added James Daniels in free agency in 2022, then Isaac Seumalo in 2023 free agency. They then drafted Broderick Jones in the first round of […]
