The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time in getting All-Pro Center Maurkice Pouncey locked up for the future despite coming off an 2013 Season-Ending Torn ACL off of friendly fire from OG David DeCastro.
The Steelers ink Twin to a reported 5-years $44 million deal that included a $13 million singing bonus. Maurkice when healthy there is no one better at the Center position. In normal circumstances you either have a Center is strong yet cannot get out an d pull or Athletic as all get out but is not strong enough to hold blocks. Twin #53 is both a rare combination of both and that's what makes him a dominant Center.
The Deal will make Twin #53 the highest paid Center and deservedly so. Dawg Pound Center Alex Mack who the Steelers were also eyeing in the Draft before grabbing Pouncey received a 5-year $42 Million deal this past April as Twin's Deal is a little more heftier in Long-Term Money.
Note: Twin #53 is only 24-years of age an that new Blocking Scheme under Mike Munchak has Twin as the important anchor as he just needs to stay healthy.
