A former undrafted free agent out Virginia Tech, Hoffman has appeared in 54 games making 16 starts. He\u2019s started seven games each of the past two seasons, logging time along the interior. Last year, he played 419 snaps at center and 55 at left guard. In 2024, he picked up 387 snaps at right guard, 109 at center, and 19 at left guard. Here\u2019s Hoffman\u2019s career snap breakdown:<\/p>\n

Center: <\/strong>684 snaps
Right Guard:<\/strong> 452 snaps
Left Guard:<\/strong> 74 snaps<\/p>\n

In college, Hoffman primarily played right guard and center. Coming out of school, he measured in at 6034, 302 pounds with 33 1\/4-inch arms at his Pro Day.<\/p>\n

A restricted free agent, the Cowboys surprisingly opted against tendering him<\/a>, making Hoffman unrestricted once the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 PM\/EST.<\/p>\n

Hoffman will help replace Isaac Seumalo, who agreed to a three-year deal<\/a> with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. Hoffman may compete with Spencer Anderson as the Steelers\u2019 starting left guard or could be a top backup at left guard and behind center Zach Frazier. Last year\u2019s backup center, Ryan McCollum, is a restricted free agent who hasn\u2019t been tendered or signed back.<\/p>\n

Turning 27 in July, Hoffman offers a blend of youth and experience. His small contract won\u2019t prevent Pittsburgh from using a top draft pick along the interior offensive line, either, though the Steelers have other positions to address as well.<\/p>\n

Given the high price offensive linemen usually command,<\/a> this is an economical and smart signing. Look for a full scouting report in the coming days.<\/p>\n

He is the fourth external acquisition the Steelers have made through the first two days of the legal tampering period. The team has agreed to deals with fellow free agents CB Jamel Dean and RB Rico Dowdle in addition to a trade that will send WR Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts to the Steelers.<\/p>\n
