LOUISVILLE CENTER VISITING STEELERS, BENGALS AND BROWNS

Posted by Aaron Wilson on March 22, 2009, 5:42 p.m.

Louisville center Eric Wood has set up private workouts or official visits in the next few weeks with three of the four AFC North teams, according to Chris Steuber of Scout.com.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Larry Zierlein is scheduled to work out the projected second-round draft pick on the Louisville campus on April 6. The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder is set to visit the Bengals on April 14 and the Cleveland Browns on April 15.

A four-year starter who established a new school record with 49 consecutive starts, Wood is also a candidate to play offensive guard in the NFL.

“I feel comfortable at both positions right now,” Wood told Scout.com. “I’ve been working a lot at guard, since I haven’t had as much experience at it. But the way I look at it, there’s probably a two-thirds chance I’m going to play guard next season.

“The fact is that there are twice as many guard spots as there are center spots. I’m going to do all I can to make a team and play as early as possible. … I could see myself on a tough-natured team like the Steelers.”

Wood is a Cincinnati native who grew up as a Bengals fan.

Hmmmmm :| I hope him pimping the steelers is because their picking higher >_<

I think the Browns have to many other issues to address besides Center to warrant using one of their first two picks on one. Nothing to say they would try trading back up, but that would mean giving up picks, which I can't see them doing with a new GM and Coach in house.

I don't see Eric Wood cracking the first round either, so I think you can rule out the Steelers unless they trade down.
