Episode Details

Bud Dupree dropped a wild rookie story: Coach Mike Tomlin once kicked him out of practice during a heated pass-rush drill — the only time he’s ever seen it happen. Dubbing Steelers camp “gladiator school,” Dupree praised Tomlin’s brutal, physical approach, complete with drills like “Seven Shots” and “Backs on Backers.” Even now with the Chargers, he’s open to returning to Pittsburgh, calling the standard “the standard.” But fans may soon see a shift — reports say those legendary drills are disappearing under the new coaching staff. A glimpse into the intensity that forged champions — and how the game’s toughest classrooms might be changing.
