Physically, Myles Jack was away from football for months. Mentally, he was never that far. Speaking to reporters during his Tuesday press conference, Mike Tomlin said Jack’s passion for the game kept him ready not only when the Steelers signed him to the practice squad but when they called upon him in Saturday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Tomlin was asked how Jack was able to flip the switch back on after potentially not thinking about the game for months.
“You hit it on the head when you said, not really thinking about football,” Tomlin said courtesy of the Steelers’ YouTube channel.
