Despite injuries and poor quarterback play throughout the season, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin still dragged his team to the playoffs, even if he did not end the season how he wanted to. A team that finished with a negative point differential (-20) still making the playoffs is impressive and shows Tomlin can elevate a below-average team. That is something former Steelers QB Tanner Morgan saw in his limited time with the club this past summer.
Morgan signed with Pittsburgh as a UDFA and stayed with the team throughout preseason before being cut. Despite only being a Steeler for a few months, Tomlin made a strong impression on him.
