On offense, Pittsburgh picked up a number of players in an attempt to find some depth for the offensive line. They signed a pair of tackles, Nik Embernate and Mike Farrell, as well as a pair of centers in Joe Madsen and Ivory Wade. Madsen was a four-year starter and has good lateral movement, according to his draft profile, but he’ll need to add strength to his 6’3, 310-pound frame in order to compete in the NFL.
The Steelers also added Anthony Rashad White, a defensive tackle out of Michigan State whose name was mentioned when notable NFL Combine snubs were being discussed. Spartans blog The Only Colors notes that White’s strength comes against the run game, and also features White in their top five moments from 2012.
