Veteran Furman tackle Steven Cain brings proven edge protection and all-conference pedigree
In the 2002 season, Steven Cain was a first-team Preseason All-Southern Conference selection for Furman, and Furman’s own records list him as a first-team all-conference offensive tackle[4][7]. At 6-foot-5 and about 310 pounds, he was valued for size, consistency, and stability at right tackle, helping anchor an offense that was counted on heavily after Furman lost multiple veteran linemen[2][12]. The bigger story: he wasn’t just a body at tackle — he was viewed as an established, trusted starter with NFL-caliber upside, which is why he later signed with the Atlanta Falcons after his Furman career[1].
