Mike Tomlin’s been the head coach of the Steelers long enough to be an established icon. In 15 years, the Pittsburgh lead man has won over 150 games, coached in two Super Bowls, and never had a losing season.
But, as is often the case, Tomlin does so much for the Pittsburgh community, too.
Recently, as told in a story by FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer, Tomlin was driving to a Steelers training camp practice when he came upon a group of local community center kids in a fight. The kids were naturally shocked when they saw a famous football coach step out of his car.
After spending a few hours with them, Tomlin later brought them all in as guests to a future Steelers camp practice in an example of football at its very best:
Best thing/story I’ve seen so far on my camp tour. A little backstory. @CoachTomlin was driving in his car when he saw these kids fighting in the street. Tomlin pulls over and the kids, in obvious shock at who stepped out of the car, stopped fighting. (Read full story below) pic.twitter.com/08pFlZTtfx

Now that is some special work all around.
If Tomlin’s good deed doesn’t pull at the heartstrings, I don’t know what will. Kudos to Tomlin for paying it forward in an incredible way and for striving to be a Pittsburgh community leader.
