ESPN.com reports Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin discussed the importance of participating in the team's offseason conditioning program to his players, stressing the significance of working out with the team, rather than at home or elsewhere. According to WR Cedrick Wilson, the head coach said "You can go train in Orlando or you can go train in Arizona where it's a nice climate, whatever, but you can't get out of those places what you can get here and that's football." Roughly 85 percent of the team reported for the conditioning program, including QB Ben Roethlisberger.
I applaud Mike Tomlin for being one of the very first coaches to try and solve this problem with many players in the NFL....sooner or later if I were the coach of an NFL team I would start fining players for working out somewhere other than the team's training facilities.
