Steelers Have Mixed History With Draft-Day Double-Dipping Under Mike Tomlin

Related Topics: Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers under Head Coach Mike Tomlin have made it a bit of a habit of double-dipping at positions during the NFL Draft. The obvious advantage of doing so is that it improves your odds of landing a player that is actually going to make it.

Generally, the focus of these double-dips has been at three positions: wide receiver, cornerback, and linebacker. The Steelers actually happened to double down at both cornerback and outside linebacker in this current draft, and are hoping that they get a good haul out of this group.
