2024 NFL All-Rookie team:
Zach Frazier, Pittsburgh Steelers
2024 stats: 15 starts, 94.7% pass block win rate, 72.2% run block win rate
Drafted: Round 2, No. 51
ESPN was tempted to swap out Frazier for Graham Barton (Bucs), who dramatically improved over the course of the season and is on an excellent trajectory. But Frazier was steadier this season and gets the nod. Frazier is exactly what teams want at the pivot. He identifies defenses well, looks for work in pass protection and has quick hands and feet.
Frazier is also a relentless finisher and a high-effort player, which is a prerequisite for playing offensive line in Pittsburgh and a great sign for his future as the leader of that line. He had more successful reps against the Ravens' nasty defensive tackle room than any other center this season.
Second team: Graham Barton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
