It sounds like the Pittsburgh Steelers are taking a short break from the NFL draft to visit their city brethren down in Florida. According to the Trib’s Rob Biertempfel, General Manager Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin are stopping by to meet with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not just to eat Cracker Jacks either. Biertempfel reports the Steelers are learning about how the Pirates use their analytics and player tracking.
#Steelers Tomlin, Colbert and others are in #Pirates camp today swapping notes about analytics. Steelers are interested in how Pirates track OFs movements on field — simialr jobs to WRs and DBs.
