In case you ever doubt that the Pittsburgh Steelers are a model franchise, they literally are according to teams like the Baltimore Ravens, among the best in the league. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told reporters as much yesterday at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.
“We’ve actually looked at franchises like the Steelers over the years”, DeCosta said, via transcript, referring to their continuity. “Always had an admiration for the way that they’ve conducted business. Obviously bitter rivals, but we believe that continuity is critical to success in many different ways”.
The Steelers embody the concept of continuity in the NFL.
