One interesting draft nugget you may have missed at today’s annual pre-draft presser from Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert.Colbert confirmed the Steelers brought in only 23 prospects for a pre-draft visit, choosing not to bring in the maximum of 30. He explained his rationale.
“I’m sure someone is going to ask, ‘well you only had 23 in for a visit,'” Colbert said Monday. “And that’s true. But we went into this spring with the focus of let’s make sure we don’t bring kids in just to hit 30. We wanted to make sure we were diligent about selecting those. Because when you do those interviews, it’s usually during your meetings. And it takes away from your meetings. We wanted to make sure the ones that we did were the most important.”
