Pittsburgh Steelers rookie C Zach Frazier’s outstanding performance on the offensive line this season hasn’t gone unnoticed, as he has been named the 2024 recipient of the ‘Joe Greene Great Performance Award.’
The award—also regarded as the Steelers Rookie of the Year—is selected by the Pittsburgh Chapter of Pro Football Writers of America and is annually presented to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top rookie.
Frazier, drafted out of West Virginia with the 51st pick of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, has more than exceeded expectations for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Out of 914 snaps at center, the rookie has allowed only one sack while also performing as the NFL’s fifth-best center, according to PFF.
When anyone turns on the tape, his pass blocking is excellent for a rookie, but his dominance in the run game is where he truly excels.
Congratulations are in order for Frazier, but the celebration will likely be on hiatus, as the team must prepare quickly for an important Week 18 AFC North showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on January 4 at 5:00 PM EST.
