Mike Tomlin Compares Signing Patrick Peterson To Acquiring Joe Haden

Days ago, it was Joe Haden talking about Patrick Peterson. Fast forward to Friday and it’s Mike Tomlin talking about Patrick Peterson talking about Joe Haden.

Got all that?

The similarities are obvious. Signed in 2017, Haden was a veteran presence in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ cornerback room. For 2023, Peterson is that guy. Speaking to NBC’s Peter King following yesterday’s practice, Tomlin noted the parallels.

“Pat being a seasoned veteran,” Tomlin told King. “We’re just so excited to have him. You have the same feel that you had when we were able to acquire Joe Haden.
