One of the most important involved with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the last three decades is former defensive line coach and assistant head coach John Mitchell. Mitchell, who retired following the 2022 season, spent 28 years with the Steelers and was integral to the development of so many important pieces along Pittsburgh’s defensive line. During the latest episode of Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, Heyward was joined by Brett Keisel and Casey Hampton and they talked about John Mitchell’s motivating techniques to young players.
Heyward told a story of Mitchell getting on his case early in his rookie season.
