Pre-camp position reviews: Offensive line

Pre-camp position reviews: Offensive line


This is the first in a series on the Steelers’ roster as the team prepares to report to training camp at Saint Vincent College July 23. Today: The offensive line

Offensive Linemen: Isaac Seumalo, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Spencer Anderson, Ryan McCollum, Calvin Anderson, Max Scharping, Dylan Cook, Gareth Warren, Doug Nester, Aiden Williams

After using five draft picks on offensive linemen in 2023 and 2024, the Steelers did not select an offensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft.

But the young linemen the team selected in the previous two drafts should be maturing into players capable of big things in 2025. In fact, of the five linemen selected in the previous two drafts, four are expected to be starters in 2025, meaning the Steelers are not only young up front, but they’re also talented.

As a group, the Steelers allowed 49 sacks in 2024. But when you consider the team’s quarterbacks had the ninth-most time to throw before pressure in the league last season, you understand how much of that was on the line and how much was on the quarterbacks.

First-round picks Broderick Jones (2023) and Troy Fautanu (2024) are expected to be the starting tackles, with Jones sliding over to the left side to replace Dan Moore Jr., who left in free agency.

Jones has appeared in all 34 games in his first two seasons, making 27 starts, all at right tackle. That’s actually nearly twice as many starts as the 24-year-old made in college, and he’s expected to settle into his more natural side on the left in 2025.

Fautanu made just one start as a rookie after suffering a dislocated kneecap early in the 2024 season. But he’s a natural mover and appears primed for a breakout season in 2025.

On the interior, veteran Isaac Seumalo is the leader of the group and brings a strong presence as a run blocker at left guard. The 31-year-old’s 90 career starts are more than the rest of the unit combined.
