Steelers Sign Mike McCarthy’s Former OL Brock Hoffman

Hoffman, who originally signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia Tech in 2022, joined Dallas' practice squad under Mike McCarthy, Pittsburgh's new head coach, in November of that year.

He proceeded to play for the Cowboys through the 2025 campaign, appearing in a total of 54 games along the way and starting 16 of them.

Hoffman spent a majority of his time at center in 2025, logging 419 snaps at the position according to Pro Football Focus, though he also got 55 reps at left guard.

Now, Hoffman will reunite with McCarthy and become a key depth piece up front for the Steelers.

With Zach Frazier entrenched as Pittsburgh's starting center, Hoffman likely won't see any time at the position unless the former is dealing with an injury.

He could certainly become a factor at left guard after Isaac Seumalo departed the Steelers and agreed to a three-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, however, though Spencer Anderson should also challenge for the starting job at the position assuming the organization doesn't make a major splash there.
