A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for Sept. 4
STEELERS AT OHIO STATE GAME
Ohio State is one of the biggest programs in college football. The Buckeyes are usually competing for the national championship, and they even won it a few years ago. They’ve produced plenty of NFL players, too. That includes many Steelers over the years, including some current players like Will Howard and Cam Heyward.
Ohio State is gearing up to make a championship run this year, too, and the Steelers once again have their eye on the university. Beat writer Dan Hope shared on Twitter that many teams will be in attendance to watch Ohio State’s season opener. The Steelers are one of many teams that will be there. It’s possible that they could go back to the well and target Ohio State players in next year’s draft.
17 NFL teams will have scouts at Ohio Stadium for Ohio State’s season opener vs. Ball State: Seahawks (3), Bears (2), Browns (2), Colts (2), Falcons (2), 49ers, Chiefs, Dolphins, Giants, Jaguars, Lions, Raiders, Saints, Steelers, Texans, Titans, Vikings

TOMLIN TIKTOK
Mike Tomlin is entering the next chapter of his life. He stepped down as the Steelers’ head coach this offseason and opted not to try to join another team. Instead, Tomlin is working as an analyst on NBC. That’s allowing people to see a different side of Tomlin.
That includes seeing Tomlin make TikToks with the rest of the NBC Sports crew. Some Steelers fans might remember TikTok causing some drama in the team’s locker room when JuJu Smith-Schuster was in Pittsburgh. It doesn’t seem like Tomlin has a problem using the platform, though. It’s certainly different compared to what he used to be doing.

STEELERS HELPING SCHOOLS
The Steelers are gearing up to try to compete for a Super Bowl. They’ve got a new head coach in Mike McCarthy, and this will be Aaron Rodgers’ final season. However, that isn’t their only goal. They’re also working to improve their community.
WESA News shared that the Steelers are working to help local Pittsburgh schools. They’re partnering with over 100 schools to try to enrich education and improve attendance. It’s a good example of how the team stays involved in its city and tries to make it a better place.
