Gerry Dulac reports that Chargers free agent NT/DE Cam Thomas is scheduled to visit the Steelers on Friday. Thomas is 6’4, 320 lbs and carries the nickname of “Baby Zilla”.

Thomas started 10 games for the Chargers before losing the starting job to Sean Lissemore last season. He played a total of 547 snaps in 2013 for San Diego. Originally drafted in the 5th round of the 2010 draft, Thomas has been a solid zero tech at times, but has struggled with consistency. During the limited games I saw of him last year, he didn’t command two man blocks very often. In fact, he was pushed around by one man, though that may have just been a bad sampling. I’ll watch more of his coaches film to form a more complete opinion.

With the complete lack of depth on the Steelers defensive line right now, I imagine the team will be interested in lining up as many meetings with free agent DE/NT’s as they can.
