Mike Tomlin has hired representation for a future in television. The Steelers won’t get a look at a potential draft target at his pro day.
A former Steelers coach is going to take on an important job in Las Vegas, and Omar Khan is making a crucial pro day stop.
All that in Wednesday’s “First Call.”
Tomlin on TV?
Former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is laying the foundation to get into broadcasting
Front Office Sports is reporting that Tomlin has hired Sandy Montag and Alex Flanagan to represent him regarding any potential television or streaming jobs.

As noted at ProFootballTalk.com, Montag previously represented the late John Madden. Front Office Sports lists Mike Tirico, Jim Nantz, Scott Van Pelt, James Brown and Dick Vitale as current clients.
Flanagan is former sportscaster who has worked with the NFL Network, NBC Sports and ESPN.
Fox seems to be a natural fit since Tomlin is so tight with Jay Glazer. Although, Rob Gronkowski is replacing Jimmie Johnson there.
NBC could be a possibility for Tomlin. That network recently parted ways with Tony Dungy. Also, Matt Ryan is going back to Atlanta as a member of the Falcons’ front office. So that means there’s an opening on the “NFL Today” pregame show as well.
Nothing to see
Arizona State’s pro day is slated for March 27. However, potential Steelers’ draft target Jordyn Tyson will not work out.
Instead, he will do positional work for scouts April 17. That’s according to Field Yates of ESPN.
A pre-draft update: Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson will work out for NFL teams on April 17, doing positional work only.
Tyson dealt with a hamstring injury during the season and did not participate at the combine, but teams will get a look at him prior to the draft.

Tyson, whose position coach is retired Steeler WR Hines Ward, is projected as a first-round pick. Many have slotted him to the Steelers if he lasts that long. If he slides, injury concerns will be the reason why.
Before transferring to ASU, Tyson tore his ACL, MCL and PCL in 2022 while playing for Colorado. He also had a collarbone injury that caused him to miss time in 2024. Last year, he suffered a significant hamstring strain.
It’s the hamstring problem that held him back at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis as well. Despite that injury, Tyson played in nine games last season catching 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns.

According to ESPN’s draft board, the Buckeyes boast four of the top 11 players in the draft.
Carnell Tate is the top wide receiver. Caleb Downs is rated as the best safety. Both of those players are expected to be gone by the time the Steelers pick at No. 21. The same could be said for Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese. They are rated as the top two linebackers in the draft.
Kayden McDonald is also the No. 1 nose tackle on the board. He is 6-foot-2, 325-pounds. He is the No. 21 overall prospect and may be more in the Steelers’ range.
The Steelers did meet with McDonald at the combine.
Important assignment
A former Steelers assistant is going to be tasked with a high-profile job in his new place of employment.
According to the NFL Network, former Steelers quarterback coach Mike Sullivan is being hired in that role with the Las Vegas Raiders. That’s the team with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. They are expected to select Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza with that choice.
Sullivan has also been a QB coach for the Giants and Broncos.
The #Raiders are hiring a QB coach after all. Mike Sullivan has been tabbed to work with presumptive No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, sources tell The Insiders.
It’ll be Sullivan’s fifth stint as a QB coach — two with the #Giants, one each with the #Steelers and #Broncos. pic.twitter.com/cS4kdWS3Kv

This is a quick pivot for Sullivan. He had just recently been hired at Rutgers as a senior offensive assistant for head coach Greg Schiano.
This is also a sudden change for the Raiders. New coach Klint Kubiak initially released his list of assistants without a designated QB coach. But he apparently decided to add one late in the process.
Sullivan was in Pittsburgh from 2021-24. He did not coach last year.
