In his introductory press conference to training camp yesterday, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin mentioned that every player showed up on time and in-shape for the conditioning test, of which no one failed said test that participated.
When NFL Network analyst and former general manager Scott Pioli spoke to Tomlin after practice concluded, he mentioned Tomlin’s comments about the players’ conditioning and timeliness sticking out to him despite being simple things in the grand scheme of what the team is trying to do here in Latrobe.
“A very small thing, but a very critical thing in terms of team development because what it shows is a respect and appreciation for one another,” Tomlin said to Pioli at the conclusion of practice on Inside Training Camp Live on NFL Network.
