BEREA, Ohio -- Cameron Erving gets his first start for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Erving, the second of the team’s two 2015 first-round picks, was the 19th overall pick in the draft after playing tackle and center at Florida State. His impact has been minimal, though, as he has basically been used as an extra tight end to this point.

He has practiced all over the line, though he said the one position he’s had the least amount of work is left guard. That’s where he’ll start in place of the injured Joel Bitonio (sprained ankle).

“It is tough,” right guard John Greco said. “I think what is important is when it happens in the heat of the moment like it did against Cincinnati for him, I think that is tough because as you said he hasn’t had experience there for some reason. For some reason we weren’t getting him looks there, even though he has to be ready for everywhere. This week with him having a full week of preparation -- that is what is nice about it."

Erving will have his hands full, though. Greco said that Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward usually lines up on the right side, which will put him across from Erving in some situations. ESPN Stats & Information reports that Heyward has lined up at the right tackle spot more than any other spot this season (237 of 532 defensive snaps).

Pro Football Focus reports that Heyward is the fourth best 3-4 end in the league, and his 32 pressures rank third at the position. ESPN Stats & Info reports that Heyward’s nine tackles for loss are tied for a team high.

The concern with Erving is not attitude or enthusiasm. He is as involved in the game as anyone on the sideline. His concern is strength and playing a position he has not worked much this season against a very good player.

“I don’t mean to sound cocky when I say this,” Erving said, “but I’ve gotten a lot of questions about different positions. I’m a football player, and I like to play football so I’m going to put everything I have into what I’m playing that week or what the team needs me to do.

“All of those questions, honestly, are irrelevant to me. I’m just going to go out and I’m going to play football, regardless of what position I’m at.”
