The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t have a quality center on their roster. If the season started today, Nate Herbig would be the man with his hand on the ball. The Steelers recognize that glaring need, and Omar Khan made it very clear when speaking to WPXI.
“There’s a standard here,” Khan said. “I got spoiled. I was around Maurkice Pouncey and Jeff Hartings- that was my time here [and] Obviously, Dermontti Dawson. There were plenty of great centers here. There’s a high standard, so we owe it to ourselves to look at everything to try to find the next great Steelers center.”
The Steelers have limped at the position since Pouncey retired after the 2020 season. The Kendrick Green experiment lasted all of one season before he was inactive for all of 2022 and traded to the Houston Texans after an attempted position change to fullback last year in training camp. Mason Cole was Pittsburgh’s answer over the last two seasons, but was arguably the worst starting center in football.
