Brian Flores' Respect for Mike Tomlin as Mentor Shows Pittsburgh Steelers' Advantage in Future Build

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk podcast. Brian Flores made it clear in an HBO Real Sports interview that his new job with the Pittsburgh Steelers only came about because he initially called Mike Tomlin for advice about coaching and his situation after his lawsuit against the NFL. The fact that Flores, a disciple of Bill Belichick, would look up to Tomlin in a tough moment of his career speaks volumes of how respected Tomlin is around the league, as is Sean McVay calling Tomlin a mentor as well. But how does this translate to positive things for the Steelers in the coming years? Also, Kevin Colbert revealed which positions are the deepest and shallowest in this year's NFL Draft according to the Steelers. What does that reveal about the team's draft plans coming up?
