The Steelers starting center Zach Frazier is among the best at the position in the entire league. Ryan McCollum is currently slayted the backup to Frazier for another season. Pittsburgh also signed former Cowboys offensive lineman Brock Hoffman in free agency, who has experience playing the position.
