Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson has garnered a lot of attention from those who cover the Pittsburgh Steelers. The dots are easy to connect, beginning with the fact that they don’t have a starting center, sans Mason Cole. Steelers coaches saw him up close both at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Scouting Combine.
As we trudge on nearer to the 2024 NFL Draft, Powers-Johnson is beginning to feel like “that” Steelers pick. We’ve had them before. Cameron Heyward. Najee Harris. James Conner. Maurkice Pouncey. Less successfully, Jarvis Jones. These players landing in Pittsburgh surprised nobody.
Add Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to the list of those who sound as though they expect it.
