Who Calls Shots for Steelers in Draft? | Steelers Morning Rush
Description
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's the way the Steelers make their decisions in the NFL Draft, and the roles that president Art Rooney II, general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin all have in the process.
Tomlin is very active in the scouting process, especially compared to some other NFL head coaches, with a very visible on-field presence during the Senior Bowl this week and likewise at the NFL Combine and pro days around the country.
But how much does Tomlin turn that involvement in the process into absolute power in the actual result, and is that a good or a bad thing?
Alan breaks it down.
