PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers made the decision this offseason to move on from Kevin Dotson. The former fourth-round draft pick was made a depth piece over the summer after the team signed Isaac Seumalo. Eventually, they traded him to the Los Angeles Rams, where he's found some new success in the NFL. 

Through six weeks, Dotson is ranked as the best offensive guard in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. Heading into Week 7, when he'll meet the Steelers as an opponent, Dotson holds an 85.3 grade from PFF, which has skyrocketed from his 65.4 grade last season. 

During his time in Pittsburgh, Dotson dealt with several injuries, but his time ended with a healthy season, playing all 17 games in 2022. Still, Pittsburgh decided to find a proven veteran in free agency, and brought in a younger vet in Nate Herbig, as a new depth piece. 

Seumalo has flourished in Pittsburgh and has been a notable upgrade along the offseason line for the Steelers. Still, Dotson is making noise in LA and could see it pay off when his rookie deal ends at the end of the season.
