## Resource

Former Steelers legend Merril Hoge is buzzing about rookie tackle Max Iheanachor, calling him a potential instant NFL impact player—so much so that Hoge claims he looked like a veteran with two decades of experience despite only playing football for a few years. Born in Nigeria, Iheanachor moved to Compton at 13 and didn’t touch a football until junior college, where he thrived before transferring to Arizona State and starting 30 games. Now a 321-pound, 6’5” draft pick at 21 overall, he’s poised to compete with established tackles like Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu. If his tape holds up, Iheanachor could be the Steelers’ hidden gem—and Hoge’s glowing praise suggests this draft pick might just be a steal.
