Old NFL centers Maurkice and Mike Pouncey, twin brothers born July 24, 1989, retire from the NFL
Maurkice was a first-round pick of the Steelers in 2010. He is a three-time first-team All-Pro and a nine-time Pro Bowler. The Dolphins turned Mike Pouncey into a first round in 2011. He spent seven years in Miami and three with the Chargers, and made it to the Pro Bowl four times.
Maurkice’s departure leaves a huge gap in the middle of the attack line for the Steelers. It could also be a factor in whether quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has indicated he wants to play for the Steelers again in 2021, is actually doing that.
