STM Take
Career arc tier 4 (#26) in 2023 to tier 8 (#77) in 2024 to tier 2 (#16) in 2025 at age 32 is a volatile late-career pattern, with the 2025 tier 2 (#16) showing the elite ceiling is still reachable. The Oregon State technical foundation plus the Super Bowl LII ring plus ten years of NFL survival makes Seumalo one of the most experienced active guards. The 2026 question is whether the tier 2 finish holds at age 33 or whether the structural decline reasserts.
Seumalo came out of Oregon State as the Philadelphia Eagles' 3rd-round pick (79th overall) in 2016 and started for the Eagles through the Super Bowl LII championship year. He signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023 free agency to anchor the guard spot next to Broderick Jones. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#92) in 2020, tier 6 (#48) in 2022, tier 4 (#26) in 2023, tier 8 (#77) in 2024, and tier 2 (#16) bounce-back in 2025 at age 32.
Strengths
- Super Bowl LII ring plus ten years of NFL starter reps across two systems puts him in the small group of veteran guards with championship pedigree.
- 2025 tier 2 (#16) bounce-back from tier 8 (#77) in 2024 confirms the elite ceiling is still reachable even into the age-32 chapter.
Concerns
- Tier 8 (#77) in 2024 confirms the structural age-related decline is real, and the 2025 bounce may be a one-year context spike.
- Age 32 plus ten years of guard-position wear puts late-2026 durability question on every projection.
What to watch: Whether Seumalo holds tier 4 or better in 2026 at age 33, or whether the rank drifts back toward the 2024 tier 8 floor.
