Mike Tomlin is a stud. He brings energy/juice. Everything is a competition. He’s constantly teaching & challenging.

This was a very physical practice the day after a scrimmage. Testing and taxing the team to make them mentally/physically tougher.

Darnell Washington is enormous. He is listed at 264. No chance! He held his own vs TJ Watt in 1-1’s. He’s a smooth mover too.

Pickens hype is real. He has everything it takes to be elite WR. Burst, body control & hands +++

Kenny Pickett is thinking fast & looks very confident. He has some Burrow traits. He’ll take a big leap in year 2.
