The Pittsburgh Steelers have been stuck in the middle of the NFL. They haven’t been good enough to make deep playoff runs recently but have played well enough to avoid a losing season since head coach Mike Tomlin took over in 2007.

Mike Tomlin had a top quarterback prospect rolling at the NFL Combine with a hilariously unexpected question that stole the show.

However, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers' meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers was focused more closely on who he is as a person and not so much the game of football. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin actually showed a noticeable interest in Ewers' academic career at Texas.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers met with a total of seven teams at the NFL scouting combine as of Friday morning, CBS Sports' Aditi Kinkhabwala reported, but one of those meetings stood out to him in a funny way: his meeting with Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers told Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports that he had seven formal meetings at the NFL Combine, but only two – the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders – did not put him on the whiteboard.
