One needn’t search very long or hard to come across one of Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin offering up some praise about what they love about playing under him, whether there are grizzled 10-year veterans or guys in their rookie season.
But that shouldn’t be surprising. Tomlin has carried the reputation of being a ‘player’s coach’, for better and worse, for virtually his entire head coaching career. He makes as much positive use out of it as he can manage, including in impacting last year’s rookie class.
One of them, second-round tight end Pat Freiermuth, talked about one particular quality he most appreciates in Tomlin during a spot on the Breneman Shows Up show with Adam Breneman.
