Former Steelers Player Has an Idea for Kendrick Green
PITTSBURGH -- Kendrick Green took a major step back in his second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After starting for most of his rookie year, the second-year guard fell completely out of the rotation in 2022 as Mason Cole took over at center and Kevin Dotson boxed him out of the left guard spot.
But according to one former Steeler, the former 2021 third-round pick could still contribute, just at a different position. Williams said he thinks Green would make a "ridiculously good" fullback, similar to Rosie Nix, who made a Pro Bowl as a Steeler fullback in 2017.
At 6'4 and 315 pounds, Green is five inches taller and 67 pounds heavier than Nix. But Green is a good athlete and has shown positional versatility going back to his college days at Illinois, where he started his career as a defensive tackle before switching to offensive line and playing both guard and center.
Green will likely need to rely on that versatility to make the Steelers' roster this season. Pittsburgh loaded up on offensive linemen, particularly guards in Issac Seumalo and Nate Herbig, this offseason, leaving Green with few other options to land among the top 53 barring drastic improvements.
