‘He’s Gotta Be The Heavy:’ Jerome Bettis Discusses Mike Tomlin’s Role In Steelers’ Locker Room

There’s been a lot more bad than good surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers in recent weeks. The team’s current three-game losing streak has called into questions about Pittsburgh’s locker room and whether players are responding to head coach Mike Tomlin. That’s even more the case after wide receiver George Pickens’ lack of effort during the team’s loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. During an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis said that Tomlin can’t be buddy-buddy with the players, which necessitates the need for the team to have a leader on offense.
