Hines Ward praises Steelers rookie OT Max Iheanachor

In preparation for their Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line will feature notable changes, with Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick shifting to the left side and rookie Max Iheanachor stepping in as the new right tackle. Iheanachor, the team’s first-round draft pick, was acquired after a last-minute trade by the Philadelphia Eagles thwarted their initial plans to select wide receiver Makai Lemon. Steelers legend Hines Ward praised Iheanachor’s work ethic and potential despite his relative inexperience, highlighting his size and power as key attributes. If offensive line coach James Campen can refine his skills, Iheanachor could become a long-term solution for the position.
