File this story away for free agency four years from now. The Pittsburgh Steelers are typically private about their pre-draft rankings. Who they like, who they don’t, and they’re famous for rarely commenting on individual players before each draft. But Mike Tomlin offered up a transparent take to his nickel corner rankings for the 2024 class.
During his latest Mike Tomlin Show that aired Sunday morning, he offered an overview of the New York Giants’ defense and referenced rookie slot corner Andru Phillips.
“That nickel was a third rounder out of Kentucky that we thought arguably was the second best nickel in the draft after the kid from Michigan,” Tomlin told host Bob Pompeani.
