Los Steelers tienen la intención de rotar a su selección de primera ronda Iheanachor por toda la línea ofensiva

Los Pittsburgh Steelers moverán al novato seleccionado en la primera ronda, Max Iheanachor, a múltiples posiciones en la línea ofensiva en lugar de asignarlo exclusivamente como tackle derecho. El coordinador ofensivo Brian Angelichio describió el plan durante las actividades organizadas del equipo esta semana.

En el día de apertura de las OTAs, Iheanachor se alineó como tackle derecho, la posición que ocupó en Arizona State después de haber comenzado como tackle izquierdo en el junior college. Angelichio dijo a los reporteros antes de la práctica del martes que el equipo quiere evaluar al novato en diferentes lugares para determinar su mejor encaje. “Lo moveremos por varios lados”, señaló. “Le daremos varios vistazos. Veremos dónde encaja bien. Ciertamente le daremos opciones. Aprenderá múltiples posiciones”.
