Steelers HC Mike Tomlin & LB Jerod Mayo Have Connection

When Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo visited the Steelers in late March, he and coach Mike Tomlin chatted about more than just football since the two hail from Virginia's Tidewater region. "We talked about that for an hour," Mayo said, "so, I definitely feel a connection." The two could have another connection after today.

coaches don't draft players because they are from the same area

 

I'VE HEARD THEY ARE VERY HIGH ON HIM. THAT'S WHO I HAVE THEM TAKING.

 

sounds like their reaching for that "news"..

 

I hope not

I hope that the Steelers can have a shot at one of the top 4 or 5 OT's myself. The LB corp we have is in good shape for this upcoming season and with taking 2 in the first 2 rounds last year, I think that it would be crazy to select 1 in the first this year as well.

Agree...sounds like they are looking for any angle they can find.

 

sounds like hes determined to get a good rush even though i agree with getting a O-linemen first!
