Through the first four seasons of his NFL career, veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson has played for some high-profile head coaches, like Sean McVay in Los Angeles and, most recently, Arthur Smith in Atlanta.
Neither of them is Mike Tomlin, though.
Jefferson, who signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers on March 15, is excited to play under Tomlin.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday following the latest Organized Team Activities session at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Jefferson stated that Tomlin is an “awesome coach” who brings a sense of pride to coaching and loves the game.
