Mason McCormick se adapta à posição de guard esquerdo sob novo treinador

O guard do Pittsburgh Steelers, Mason McCormick, está se adaptando a uma nova posição e trabalhando com um novo treinador de linha ofensiva nesta intertemporada.

McCormick falou na terça-feira sobre a transição para James Campen, que substituiu Pat Meyer. Ele observou a mudança nas filosofias e disse que o grupo foi beneficiado com a alteração. McCormick tem participado de repetições como guard esquerdo após ter atuado como guard direito desde sua seleção no draft de 2024. Ele jogou pelo lado esquerdo na faculdade e espera alinhar ao lado do tackle Troy Fautanu novamente em 2026. Os Steelers perderam Isaac Seumalo na free agency, abrindo espaço para mudanças de posição. McCormick disse que o training camp definirá a formação final. Outros jogadores de linha, incluindo Zach Frazier, Spencer Anderson, Brock Hoffman, Gennings Dunker, Dylan Cook, Broderick Jones e Max Iheanachor, também estão se adaptando a novas funções.
