Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is not one to miss a practice in his career. In fact, one of his Tomlinisms is that “the first rule of getting better is showing up.”
But on Friday night while the Steelers were at Latrobe High School for its traditional Friday Night Lights practice in front of 13,000 fans, Tomlin had something more important to partake it: presenting the Hall of Fame gold jacket to former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Ronde Barber.
Tomlin, along with former Buccaneers safety John Lynch and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell presented the jacket to Barber Friday night in a ceremony in Canton, according to video shot by Tampa Bay Times Bucs beat writer Rick Stroud.
