The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line received praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers following the 2025 season, with particular attention given to center Zach Frazier. Rodgers commented, “I don’t think there’s a better center in the league,” adding, “I watched it every single week. We’ve obviously got a good D-line, but No. 54 is as consistent as they come in the league. He’s got a bright future. He’s a phenomenal player. He’s got a real steady way about him.
“To go the whole season and not have any snap issues, to not have to do a whole lot back there protection-wise when I’ve done that most of my career, he is an exceptional player. He’s got a really bright future in the league. If the team was smart, they’d slap a deal on him pretty quickly because he’s going to be 10-plus years in the league and one of the best to do it, in my opinion. That’s his trajectory.
“He’s got a great running mate. The right side, that’s got to excite Steelers fans when you’ve got three young guys at center, right guard, right tackle who have played so well all season. That’s pretty exciting but Zach is a special player and I’m thankful to play with him.”
Frazier started every game at center during his second NFL season alongside right guard Mason McCormick and right tackle Troy Fautanu, who also started all 17 regular-season games and participated in the playoff loss against Houston.
Veteran left guard Isaac Seumalo missed three starts while completing his contract’s final year; he has been with Pittsburgh for three seasons after signing in 2023 and has over 100 career starts.
Broderick Jones began the year as starting left tackle for 11 games before being placed on injured reserve; Dylan Cook replaced him for the remainder of the season and postseason after joining Pittsburgh from Tampa Bay’s practice squad last year.
Spencer Anderson contributed as an extra tight end/offensive tackle beginning with Pittsburgh’s win over Minnesota in Dublin on September 28. After struggling with rushing yards early in the season—failing to surpass 72 yards in each of their first three games—the Steelers improved their ground game significantly by reaching at least 100 rushing yards nine times over their final fourteen regular-season contests.
Ryan McCollum continued his role primarily on special teams except for two starts at center last year; Andrus Peat played limited snaps across six games; Jack Driscoll joined midseason from Philadelphia but did not appear in any games despite previous experience with the Eagles; Calvin Anderson and Max Scharping finished on injured reserve.
The offensive line’s performance contributed both stability and improvement throughout Pittsburgh’s campaign.
