Mike Tomlin had a top quarterback prospect rolling at the NFL Combine with a hilariously unexpected question that stole the show.

The Steelers’ quarterback saga has more twists than a Friday night NASCAR race at Talladega. The post NFL Rumors: Mike Tomlin Pessimistic About the QB Draft Class Despite Russell Wilson’s Stint Ending With Steelers appeared first on EssentiallySports.

However, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers' meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers was focused more closely on who he is as a person and not so much the game of football. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin actually showed a noticeable interest in Ewers' academic career at Texas.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers met with a total of seven teams at the NFL scouting combine as of Friday morning, CBS Sports' Aditi Kinkhabwala reported, but one of those meetings stood out to him in a funny way: his meeting with Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Tomlin has even gone so far as to craft the passing game around avoiding throwing between the hashes almost entirely. This has been a thorn in the side of Steelers fans for a very long time. Many were confused as to why Tomlin would hamstring his passing game so much.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a formal interview with offensive lineman Charles Grant, from Mike Tomlin's alma mater, William & Mary.
