After wrapping up his college career at WVU, Frazier was drafted by the Steelers with the 51st overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He just wrapped up a stellar rookie season from an individual perspective, culminating in national recognition like being named to the 2024 PFWA All-Rookie Team and the recipient of the “Joe Greene Great Performance Award” as Pittsburgh’s top performing rookie.
Despite being a rookie and missing a couple games with an injury, Frazier was graded as one of the top centers in the NFL all year by PFF. He opened the season as Pittsburgh’s starting center due to a season- ending injury to incumbent Nate Herbig.
In an ESPN poll from during the 2024 regular season, Frazier ranked sixth among all NFL rookies. The poll took the opinion of five NFL analysts, including ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid.
