Another interesting prospect who could help the Steelers improve that offensive line is Teven Jenkins. Jenkins played at both tackle positions in his 35 starts at Oklahoma State. He also has guard flexibility and can be moved inside if that position is a need for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jenkins is a mountain of a man standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing in at 320 pounds. He also shows impressive natural movement skills that will help make him valuable in the run and pass game.

Jenkins is an intriguing prospect for the Steelers because the Pittsburgh Steelers have integrated a lot of quick throws in their offense. This relates to Jenkins because the up-tempo offense he played in at Oklahoma State used a lot of quick read throws in their offense. This changes the block style from quick push out instead of deeper dropbacks and holds longer blocks. Jenkins also has standard length and built to be a starting tackle on either side of the line.

Teven Jenkins is a quick striker and has solid, heavy hands at the point of attack. The size he stands at, the weight he weighs at, and the great hand positioning make him a fantastic developmental first-round talent. Jenkins also obtains a lot of football IQ with the patience in his blocks and movement and having a lot of raw talent he could be a nice selection at No. 24 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
