The Steelers are heading into their third draft class with HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan. Khan served in a different capacity previously, with Kevin Colbert serving as general manager. Since Khan took over the job, the Steelers have retained every draft pick they have made, which they had never done previously, although there are some injury caveats involved.
Many will want to attribute that difference to Khan; however, Gerry Dulac believes Mike Tomlin “has more say” in the Steelers now than he did when he was working with the much more experienced Colbert. Colbert was already with the Steelers in a GM-equivalent job long before they hired Tomlin.
