Brian Flores' Real Role in Pittsburgh Steelers' Defense, How he, Tomlin, Can Attract Big Free Agents

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers' hire of Brian Flores wasn't just to be a linebacker coach, but the be a senior defensive assistant and help the team organize its new defense. What are all the roles that could play? How does that factor in with coaching Devin Bush and the linebackers? Will Flores have a bigger role advising Teryl Austin or Mike Tomlin? And how might this impact the teams' plans around T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick? Also, with free agency coming soon, how might Flores help the Steelers' efforts in free agency? Could he bring in linebacker help like Donta Hightower, Leighton Vander Esch or Rashaan Evans? What about getting J.C. Jackson or Stephon Gilmore? Deshaun Watson? Finally, the new Mock Draft Monday winner is revealed with insight on offensive tackle Charles Cross, quarterback Desmond Ridder, defensive tackle Travis Jones and more.
