Crazy thought, but who is going to the Senior Bowl next week?

Besides Art and Khan is there anyone left for the Steelers to send to the Senior Bowl? The Steelers have all these draft picks, but is there anyone left to scout these college players? Maybe a secretary or 2 and the teams head groundskeeper???

As for me; I don't trust either Art or Khan to scout players for the draft.

January 27-29
The 2026 Senior Bowl practices will take place from January 27-29 at Hancock Whitney Stadium, home of South Alabama. The game is scheduled for January 31.

 

So, the Rams will lose this weekend?

 

You know, I have no idea if the Scouting Staff would be under the GM or Head Coach?

 

Under the GM Omar

>>> But there is a chance that our #1 choice for head coach will be coaching in the Super bowl and miss the senior bowl.

 

This would be a major loss if he is offered the Atlanta job. Hopefully he stays at least another year.

 

a bunch of seniors. i don't mean old people or Mexicans either. i'm kidding. geeeez.

i wonder if weidl's kid goes with him to atlanta if he goes?

 

Good for you Joel

You found the Steelers website and cut and pasted everyone in the football operations department

And you think the Steelers are sending all of these people

 

This.


People tend to forget that, after the conclusion of a draft, work is either already underway on the next class or the Front Office is beginning the early stages of it. Don't forget that, each Pro Day for each team isn't just about prospects who have declared but those that will in due time. Tomlin made mention of such players many times that are current Steelers; Broderick Jones being the most latest example given how Georgia won the National Title the year prior to Broderick declaring. Tomlin spoke to some of both the Georgia Staff and Players themselves about a player that the team should keep an eye on. That player ended up being Broderick.


Again, just an example but teams already have done the homework in preparation for the draft. All that remains is the Senior Bowl, Shrine Bowl, Combine, Pro Day and Pre Draft Visits; the Draft being the the final stage. After that?! Back to square one in terms of scouting next season

 

Me and him both love the scouting process. I can easily see why he would as well. Not just to learn about the Player but the person behind it.


Sure, Tomlin has had some misses; more in recent years from 2018-2022. Even so, more often than not, said players sure as hell played their asses off for him and few talk ill of him.
