Omar Khan meant what he said. Taking over as Pittsburgh Steelers general manager following the 2022 NFL Draft, his focus has been clear. Improve the trenches. He did so in 2023, drafting OT Broderick Jones and NT Keeanu Benton with two of his first three picks. And in 2024, he dove headfirst into the offensive line, selecting OT Troy Fautanu, C Zach Frazier, and OG Mason McCormick with three of his first five picks.
Appearing on The Jim Rome Show Wednesday, Khan said that’s been a top goal.
“When I got this job a couple years back, I made it clear that those big guys in the trenches, offensive line and defensive line, were really important,” Khan told Rome.
