Steelers pretend rodar a escolha de primeira rodada Iheanachor pela linha ofensiva

O Pittsburgh Steelers vai mover o calouro escolhido na primeira rodada, Max Iheanachor, por várias posições na linha ofensiva, em vez de fixá-lo na posição de right tackle. O coordenador ofensivo Brian Angelichio delineou o plano durante as atividades organizadas da equipe (OTAs) esta semana.

No dia de abertura das OTAs, Iheanachor alinhou-se como right tackle, a posição que ele desempenhou na Arizona State após começar como left tackle no junior college. Angelichio disse aos repórteres antes do treino de terça-feira que a equipe quer avaliar o calouro em diferentes posições para determinar o melhor encaixe. “Vamos movê-lo”, disse ele. “Vamos observá-lo um pouco. Ver onde ele se encaixa bem. Certamente daremos opções a ele. Ele aprenderá múltiplas posições.”
