Rich Eisen wasn’t discussing Mike Tomlin today on his podcast. But his comments will still draw the ire of Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Though he has no official vote, Eisen offered his take on which finalists should win the NFL’s major awards.
Two Steelers sit as finalists. LB T.J. Watt for Defensive Player of the Year and CB Joey Porter Jr. for Defensive Rookie of the Year. For the latter, Eisen’s choice went to Los Angeles Rams DL Kobie Turner, a fair decision given Turner’s strong season finishing with nine sacks as a third-round pick who turned heads.
