Steelers center Zach Frazier began his rookie season with high expectations. He’s surpassing them
Associated PressPITTSBURGH — Zach Frazier began his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers with a problem he’d rarely encountered on the football field up to that point. Save for an ankle injury that forced him to miss two games — and led to him somewhat sheepishly puttering around the locker room with a scooter elevating his right leg — Frazier has looked every bit the worthy successor at a position that has been one of strength through the years for the Steelers, from Hall of Famers Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson to future gold jacket candidate Maurkice Pouncey. “I don’t really like looking ahead,” he said, mostly he feels “you can kind of get off track” if you don’t pay attention to what’s going on right in front of you. “It’s just nice to have those guys and, you know, go through together with them,” Frazier said.
