Steelers brass in full attendance at Louisville Pro Day; other Pro Day news

To some, the thought of the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting University of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson is almost gut-wrenching. Some say he isn’t accurate enough and doesn’t have what it takes to be an NFL quarterback. Others suggest he would be better suited for wide receiver as a professional.

On the other side of the fence are fans who see a ridiculous athlete who could help make plays at the quarterback position, and sitting behind Ben Roethlisberger would do him good and help build a bridge at the quarterback position for the future.

Either way you see Jackson as a prospect, the Steelers were doing their homework on the Heisman Trophy winner, and other athletes, at the Louisville Pro Day. Jackson, and company, got the royal treatment with Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert in attendance to watch the workout.

Jackson, like most athletes performing at their pro day, reportedly had a good workout, but he wasn’t the only player the Steelers were watching.

Jaire Alexander spoke with media, and mentioned Mike Tomlin putting him through drills and coaching him up throughout the workout.
