It’s not often Mike Tomlin heaps praise on a young player lest it go to his head. But perhaps he’s getting a little soft in his older age. Following Thursday’s practice, he was asked about WR Tyler Vaughns and Tomlin couldn’t help but throw some praise his way.
“How about the playmaking at the end of games?” he said via the team website. “Can’t say enough about that. The in-stadium things we respect.”
Vaughns has stepped up once he’s stepped inside stadiums. Through the first two weeks, he’s caught a combined six passes for 88 yards and one touchdown on eight targets.
