When Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin was asked during the team’s post-draft press conference about the idea of making greater use of ball distribution in the backfield than they have in the past, he reserved judgement for another day, saying that it was far too early in the process to have that discussion.
Apparently it wasn’t too early for General Manager Kevin Colbert, who has been making the media rounds over the course of the past couple of days. He was asked on multiple occasions about making greater use of the team’s full stable of running backs and seemed to suggest that that was their plan.
