Former NFL wide receiver Plaxico Burress spent just parts of two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers under the guidance of head Coach Mike Tomlin, yet the longtime Steelers’ head coach had such an impact on him, that he wishes he could have played for him his entire career.
Appearing on The Carton Show Wednesday, Burress expressed his admiration for Tomlin and his belief in his leadership style, especially coming off of the news that the Steelers fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada, making a change rarely seen in-season from the franchise. Tuesday was an eventful day for the Steelers as Canada’s firing was announced in the morning, and then Tomlin had to face the music that afternoon with the media.
