If you rewind to last offseason, the term “bully ball” was thrown around a lot with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They drafted Broderick Jones and signed Isaac Seumalo hoping that would be enough to complete the offensive line rebuild, but it took them until halfway through the season to start realizing their potential in the run game. Part of that was because the offensive line had a sluggish start to the season, and Jones didn’t become a full-time starter until Week 9.
With what they did in the 2024 NFL Draft, it sure feels like they are doubling down on the bully-ball mentality.
