Steelers' Zach Frazier leading newbie OL classThe 2024 NFL Draught possessed offending line as a position of stamina and also intensity, and also has actually played out in the very first 3 weeks of the period. 9 newbies have created on their own as multi-game starters: 4 tackles in the Chargers' Joe Alt, the Titans' JC Latham, the Saints' Taliese Fuaga and the Cowboys' Tyler Guyton pair of protections in the Patriots' Layden Robinson and also the 49ers' Dominick Puni and also three centers in the Steelers' Zach Frazier, Bucs' Graham Barton and also the Cowboys' Cooper Beebe.Of those nine, the highest possible graded by Pro Soccer Concentration is actually quickly Frazier, the No. 6 center on the internet site.
