Since becoming head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin’s ‘Next man up’ philosophy has lived and breathed throughout his team. No position group has represented that philosophy more than the offensive line as former offensive line coach Mike Munchak has frequently turned afterthoughts and late round draft picks into serviceable starters. Since going undrafted in 2015, lineman B.J. Finney has frequently been called upon as the next man up and the Steelers rewarded him Wednesday night, applying a second-round tender on him.
The second-round tender will earn Finney $3.
