Mike Tomlin Praises Kevin Colbert’s Openness When He Was Hired

Kevin Colbert’s resume speaks for itself. 22 years as Steelers’ GM. Two Super Bowl trophies added to the team’s case. Drafting several Hall of Fame players and being the model of consistency and stability. But beyond all which is easy to see, Mike Tomlin praises Colbert for one thing. His openness. Tomlin was a first-time head coach when hired in 2007, the youngest in the league, and it was Colbert who made him feel at home.

Tomlin sat down for a great interview with former Steelers’ CB Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin as part of their podcast Friday.
