Mike Tomlin and new Steeler T.J. Watt hit it off in pre-draft dinner

PITTSBURGH -- The night before Wisconsin's pro day, several Pittsburgh Steelers officials visited The Great Dane Pub and Brewing Co. -- home of "Great Beer, Great Food, Great Fun" -- to set the stage for their first-round pick, Wisconsin's T.J. Watt.

Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst was in attendance for the dinner in Madison. He can't remember what everyone ate, but one thing stayed with him: How Steelers coach Mike Tomlin built a rapport with Watt, the team's pick at No. 30 overall last week.

"Mike does a great job asking questions," Chryst said.
