Mike Tomlin’s Foray Onto Instagram A Move To ‘An Effort To Connect With Today’s Players’

Entering his 16th season as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin is looking for any sort of edge he can get when it comes to remaining connected to an ever-changing landscape of players in the NFL, while also trying to get a leg up on his fellow coaches overall.

Sometimes, that edge or leg up can be found in some strange places. This offseason, that place for Tomlin comes via Instagram. Tomlin, who is very rarely on social media despite having a Twitter account with 451,000 followers, decided just one day before the start of training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe that he was going to join Instagram.
