O Pittsburgh Steelers posicionou o novato Gennings Dunker na posição de guard esquerdo e Max Iheanachor na de tackle direito durante o minicamp deste fim de semana. As formações oferecem uma primeira visão de como a equipe planeja utilizar seus dois novos jogadores de linha ofensiva.

Mark Kaboly, do Steelers Depot, relatou as posições após observar as sessões. “Gennings Dunker como guard esquerdo e Max Iheanachor como tackle direito. Talvez isso signifique algo, talvez não”, escreveu ele no X. Dunker, selecionado na terceira rodada vindo de Iowa, reconheceu a adaptação. “Você precisa estar atento a algumas coisas diferentes. E, novamente, acontece, apenas acontece um pouco mais rápido”, disse ele via Steelers.com. Ele acrescentou que jogará onde for necessário.
