Locked On: Steelers Schedule Tough for Jones, AFC Overrated?

Published

Steelers OT Broderick Jones

The early part of the 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers schedule looks like a gauntlet for rookie tackle Broderick Jones, with Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers, Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns and Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders all on the docket in the first three games.

Will Jones be ready for the early test, and what happens if he’s not?

Plus, is the quarterback-laden AFC overhyped? Alan Saunders of Steelers Now joined Chris Carter on the Locked On podcast to talk about Jones’ development, how the Steelers stack up in the AFC, and how this year’s rookie minicamp was different.
