Green a much better pick than Meinerz

Green has a good scouting report.  Good size and is athletic, strong

Size is the knock on him, actually. He's a shade under 6-2. But 4.88 40? 36-inch vertical? That's a good center athlete, for sure.

OK everyone, another Zoom call coming up for me shortly. Likely going to speak with new Steelers center Kendrick Green and new OL coach Adrian Klemm. My initial reaction is mixed. Quinn Meinerz seemed to be in a tier of his own as far as the remaining centers, but Green has some encouraging traits and certainly brings a different kind of athleticism to the position that Hassenauer/Finney do not.

It's not like he needs to dunk the football Brian

Also a converted DT. He supposedly plays nasty. Yinz wanted nasty, right?

Not sure. Finney is solid and can play if he's not ready. Green can play guard, too. Remember, DeCastro only has one year left on his deal.

Just did some quick research on Green. 33 career starts with 29 at guard and only four at center. Can't see him supplanting Finney right away, but we shall see soon enough.
