Matt Canada Has Already Coached 8 Players On Steelers’ Roster Entering First Year In NFL

Some have joked, with the Pittsburgh Steelers using two of their six draft choices over the weekend on players from the Maryland Terrapins, whether or not head coach Mike Tomlin’s son hacked his account. Dino Tomlin was a freshman at Maryland in 2019, and played with 2020 draft picks Anthony McFarland and Antoine Brooks.

The better question might be whether or not new quarterbacks coach Matt Canada has been steering the ship all this time. In spite of the fact that he has never coached in the NFL before, he comes to the team having already directly coached eight players on the current 90-man roster, a handful of whom have been acquired in the past two months.
