Before his team broke for the summer, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin used his media sessions to set a tone for training camp as a true barometer for his team's makeup. Asked about young standouts such as Diontae Johnson, Tomlin pointed out how everyone's seen "really impressive guys out here that disappear in Latrobe, particularly at (wide receiver)." Tomlin later said chemistry and culture can't be judged without adversity. "When you're in a training camp-like setting, and it's highly competitive and physically and mentally challenging, that will be the first real adversity this team sees," he said.
