Mike Tomlin’s focus and job is to make the 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers the best version of themselves they can be. But his side quest is to have Cam Heyward turn Najee Harris into, well, the next Cam Heyward. Tomlin discussed what he calls his “side project” of the season, having Heyward mentor Harris and turn him into a team leader. Tomlin explained why in a fantastic interview aired Tuesday by The Pivot Podcast, hosted by Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder, and Ryan Clark.
“I’m bridging a transitional leadership relationship between Cam Heyward and Najee,” Tomlin told the show.
