Steelers Now
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie center Zach Frazier was passed on as a Pro Bowl replacement for Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey. Buffalo Bills center Connor McGovern was selected instead, joining Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum.
Frazier, the Steelers’ second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, gave up just one sack and 12 pressures while starting 15 games for the Steelers this season, per Pro Football Focus. His 98.8 pass protection efficiency was second only to Humphrey among centers with at least 1,000 snaps this season.
Frazier has been named to the 2024 PFWA All-Rookie Team, the Pro Football Writers Association announced last week.
The Fairmont, West Virginia faced competition from Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Graham Barton, Dallas Cowboys center Cooper Beebe and Los Angeles Rams center Beaux Limmer, but took home the voting to become the Steelers first all-rookie offensive lineman since center Maurkice Pouncey in 2010.
Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo will be making his Pro Bowl debut on Sunday, his representation, Excel Sports Management, announced Monday night on X.
Seumalo will finish his second season with Pittsburgh at the league’s all-star festivities. He joins five other Pittsburgh players named to the Pro Bowl in kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward, outside linebacker T.J. Watt and Miles Killebrew, who also is an alternate.
Watt pulled out of the Pro Bowl due to injury, while Killebrew will serve as an injury replacement for New England Patriots special teamer Brenden Schooler. Seumalo replaced Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith, who will play in the Super Bowl.
The NFL Pro Bowl Games are a multi-day AFC vs. NFC event that take place at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Some of the NFL’s brightest stars will take part in competitions and a flag football game to celebrate their achievement. The events replace the actual game, which lost its luster over the years.
