Steelers 2010 first-round pick: C Maurkice Pouncey
Maurkice Pouncey was the beginning of a Steelers offensive line that would one day become a top-tier NFL unit. The No. 18 overall pick in 2010, Pouncey headed to the NFL with All-American honors, a BCS National Championship and a Rimington Trophy.
It was easy to see why the Steelers wanted Pouncey, and he’s yet to disappoint. Despite a few injury issues throughout his career, the Pittsburgh center has started the growth of the offensive line that now dominates the NFL.
A nine-time Pro Bowler, two-time First-Team All-Pro, and two-time Second-Team All-Pro, Pouncey is looking at a Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot upon his 2020 retirement.
Now searching for his first Super Bowl, Pouncey has no timetable for the remaining length of his NFL tenure. A rock in the middle of this team’s success, Pittsburgh is hoping to keep their center active for as long as possible.
