Mike Tomlin: ‘Basis Of Our Interest’ In Free Agency Goes Back To Draft Process

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most active teams on the pre-draft cycle, with head coach Mike Tomlin and former general manager Kevin Colbert and now current general manager Omar Khan traveling to numerous Pro Days across the country. It’s almost a game of Where’s Waldo at some Pro Days to see if Tomlin and/or Khan can be spotted, and if Tomlin or Khan isn’t there, it’s a safe bet a scout for Pittsburgh will be. During his end-of-season press conference, Tomlin talked about Pittsburgh’s approach to free agency, and said the basis of their interest in a lot of free agents dates back to players that they had an interest in during their draft year.
