From quarterbacks coach to interim play-caller to senior assistant, Pittsburgh Steelers’ coach Mike Sullivan has worn lots of hats over the past two years. Shifted into a catch-all sounding title, Mike Tomlin shed light on one job description it comes with.

“We’ve placed Mike Sullivan in charge of run-after,” Tomlin told reporters during his Tuesday press conference via the team’s YouTube channel. “He’s a run-after catalyst for the group. Sometimes, if you wanna point of emphasis in a certain area, you put somebody in charge of it. You allow them to own it.”

Sullivan surely does more than just focus on run-after opportunities but he seems to be in charge.
