The NFL Scouting Combine is basically the most important job interview of any prospect’s life prior to the 2024 NFL draft. So of course they all want to make a great first impression. We are pretty sure that’s what former Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson did when he went up against Pittsburgh Steelers assistant offensive line coach Isaac Williams.
Powers-Johnson lined up opposite Williams, who was armed with his blocking dummy but didn’t stand a chance. Powers-Johnson steamrolled Williams in a display of his rare power and athleticism. I’m guessing Williams will remember that rep when he and talks first-round picks for the Steelers.

Powers-Johnson is one of the top prospects for the Steelers in the first round. The Steelers released Mason Cole in a cost-cutting move but also because he struggled last season. This left Pittsburgh with a huge vacancy on the offensive line and there might not be a better player than Powers-Johnson to replace him with.
