A starting center seems to be the only position of need for the Steelers entering the 2024 NFL Draft, but general manager Omar Khan said Monday that there are offensive linemen on the roster who have the ability to make a full-time switch.
That leaves an intriguing spot at No. 20 overall when Pittsburgh is on the clock. But before looking into what pro days the Steelers attended to try to zero in on who they’re interested in, Tomlin indicated it could be a ploy to throw teams — or even the media — off Pittsburgh’s scent.
“Sometimes at pro days, I’m looking at people I’m not interested in because I know everyone’s watching,” Tomlin said. “To be bluntly honest, there’s not a lot of my peers that work on the pro-day circuit the way that I work. And so I understand that my movement, what I pay attention to, who I conversate with all becomes media fodder. And so sometimes I have fun with you guys.”
