Mike Tomlin is the Senior Bowl’s unofficial coach. While many coaches simply watch practice from the press box, bleachers, or in the background along the sidelines, Tomlin likes having his feet on the grass. So much so that it often feels like he’s leading the drills as much as the actual positional coach in charge. To kick off this year’s Senior Bowl, Tomlin immediately bolted to watch a group of defensive linemen. Given the team’s need and Art Rooney II’s recent comments, it’s no surprise.
Our Ross McCorkle is one of several from the Steelers Depot crew down in Mobile to cover the week’s events and spotted Tomlin making a bee-line for the big defensive uglies.
