In a shocking twist, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has predicted that Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers will select Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims in the first round of the upcoming draft. This comes after the Steelers drafted Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones during the 2023 NFL draft. Zierlein, known for his accurate predictions, believes that history will repeat itself in 2024 with Mims joining the Steelers.
Zierlein released his mock draft on February 5, where he slotted Mims as the Steelers’ pick at No. 20 overall. Describing Mims as a high-end talent with the ideal body type for his position, Zierlein believes that pairing him with former Georgia Bulldog Broderick Jones could be a game-changing decision.
Both Mims and Jones were key players on Georgia’s offensive line during the 2022 season, where the team won their second consecutive national championship. With Jones anchoring the left tackle position and Mims starting at right tackle, their chemistry and success on the field bode well for their potential future together in Pittsburgh.
It remains to be seen if Zierlein’s prediction will come true, but if it does, the Steelers could be adding a dynamic and talented player to their roster. Stay tuned for more updates on the NFL draft and the Steelers’ potential selection of Amarius Mims.
