Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to choose Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims in the first round, according to Lance Zierlein of Getty NFL.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones during the 2023 NFL draft. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein is one of the draft analysts that has predicted history to repeat itself in 2024 with Amarius Mims.

In his mock draft released on February 5, Zierlein slotted Mims, who is also a Georgia offensive tackle, to the Steelers at No. 20 overall.

“Mims is a high-end talent and has the body type for his position that teams covet,” Zierlein wrote. “Pairing him with fellow former Georgia Bulldog Broderick Jones could be a home run decision.”

Mims and Jones started on the same offensive line at Georgia in the program’s two College Football Playoff games during the 2022 season. Jones anchored left tackle while Jones started at right tackle.

Georgia won their second straight national championship in 2022.
