The Pittsburgh Steelers and Saint Vincent College have had the second-longest working relationship between any NFL team and their training camp partner, behind the Green Bay Packers—and possibly now the longest, as the Packers are not returning to their traditional location this year.
The Steelers have utilized the grounds of Saint Vincent as their training camp destination since 1966, and they had an unbroken working relationship right up until the COVID-19 pandemic, which for the past two seasons prevented teams, enforced by the NFL, from traveling off-site.
But Pittsburgh is gearing up to head back out to Latrobe in 2022 for the first time in years, a week from now, and head coach Mike Tomlin shared his thoughts on the significance of the Steelers’ relationship with the college and the city in a video posted on the team’s website.
