Kevin Colbert Lauds Mike Tomlin’s Love For, Skill In Evaluation, Scouting Department: ‘He Wants To Be A Big Part Of It’

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be shifting gears significantly in a way that they have not had to in many years, with the pending exit of Kevin Colbert from the general manager chair as he steps down, possibly to remain in a reduced role. But that won’t completely upend the team’s scouting evaluation process.

While it is entirely possible that a new general manager will want to shake things up in the scouting department, the reality is that head coach Mike Tomlin has long been an integral part of not just the drafting decisions but in the scouting and evaluation process as well, something that Colbert discussed on Steelers Nation Radio last month.
