I’m convinced Mike Tomlin lost the remote in his couch cushions every Thursday night. With the way the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted not only this year, but in recent classes, the organization clearly has some MAC Fever.
And the only prescription was Diontae Johnson, Sutton Smith, and Ulysees Gilbert III. All three players who called the Mid-American Conference home for the last four to five years.
For a franchise that loves Power 5 picks and shies away from the FCS level, the MAC is becoming one of their favorite “small” conferences to choose from.
