It’s no secret that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan are among the most active among league personnel when it comes to traveling to pre-draft events, such as the NFL Combine and various Pro Days. While numerous executives, including the entire Los Angeles Rams front office and coaching staff and Patriots Head Coach/de-facto general manager Bill Belichick, skipped the Combine this year, the Steelers had their usual presence and Khan and Tomlin have since been traveling the country attending various pro days. Speaking to the media at the coaches’ breakfast at the NFL Owner’s Meeting in Pittsburgh, Tomlin explained that learning more about a player personally and building relationships is why he and Khan are so active in the pre-draft circuit.
