A couple weeks before the draft, we looked at the relationship between Kevin Colbert and/or Mike Tomlin attending Pro Days not just for first round picks, we know the correlation there is VERY strong, but for all their draft day selections. We noticed there was a trend, one that continued with who the Pittsburgh Steelers took this weekend.
Four of their nine picks were prospects that Colbert and Tomlin watched workout in person. They are:
Devin Bush/Michigan
Justin Layne/Michigan State
Zach Gentry/Michigan
Isaiah Buggs/Alabama
Colbert and Tomlin traveled to Michigan together while just Colbert attended the Spartans and Crimson Tide’s Pro Days.
