He started a combined 37 games at center over the last three years, while starting 10 games at left guard in his first season at West Virginia.

2. Frazier also has a wrestling background, dominant in the sport in high school where he was a four-time West Virginia Heavyweight Champion. He even had a gym built in his home, something he used growing up to build his strength.

3. Frazier has an aunt, uncle and cousins who are deaf, and he has learned sign language so he can communicate with them.

"I can finger spell anything," said Frazier. "My mom taught me from a young age how to pick up some signs and learn it. And I know a good bit of signs just from talking to them. Every time they visit, I try to learn as much as I can. I know a good bit. If they lived up here, I would be a lot better.

"That's my aunt and uncle and cousins and I want to be able to communicate with them. It's important to me. They can't hear. It's not their fault. I just want to do everything that I can so I can understand and communicate well with them so they're not missing out on anything. It's not something I really think about. They're family.

"I add new signs every time they are here. If I spell something, I'll ask for the sign and then try to try to memorize it. I just want to do my best at it."

4. When he was born, Frazier's mom, Heather, knew he was destined to play in the NFL. She said it was a sign from God, something that she knew from his first breath. For Frazier, he knew the NFL was for him the minute he knew the NFL existed.

"That was really the dream from whenever I learned about the NFL, which was when I was five or six years old," said Frazier. "I started watching it with my dad, and he really helped kindle that love for football at a really young age. Whenever I started watching the NFL, I knew that that's what I wanted to do one day."

5. Frazier and his wife, Stephanie, were married in May of 2023.
