Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is really piling up the frequent flyer miles. On Wednesday, Tomlin was at the Ole Miss pro day to get a closer look at quarterback Matt Corral. And less than 24 hours later, Tomlin has made his way to Cincinnati to have dinner with quarterback Desmond Ridder ahead of the Cincinnati pro day on Thursday.
Ridder is among a strong group of four quarterbacks in the 2022 NFL draft Pittsburgh has shown big-time interest in. Ridder, like Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett and Corral are all guys with very lively arms and excellent mobility. Ridder had stood out this past season similar to Pickett in terms of the level of improvement in their overall game.
