Impact Both Mike and his twin brother, Steelers standout center Maurkice Pouncey, are electing to end their lengthy careers. Mike, 31, missed the entire 2020 season while recovering from hip surgery, but when healthy, he was one of the NFL's better centers. The No. 15 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft was a four-time Pro Bowler across his 10 seasons in the league with the Dolphins and Chargers.

Dan Feeney is expected to continue starting at center moving forward.
