Mike Tomlin has proven himself to be a tremendous football mind. But the Pittsburgh Steelers coach has arguably made his mark in the NFL as an even better human being and mentor.

He was on brand with the latest story to come out of team camp as the Steelers coach brought some extremely young prospects to train with his players. Apparently, Mike Tomlin was simply driving past a few rowdy kids who stopped when they were approached. He spent a few hours with the children before extending an invite to come train alongside the Steelers. Check out some footage from the awesome scene, via Jay Glazer:

“Mike then spent the next few hours with the kids. Yesterday he invited the same group of kids, who all go to a local community center, to be his guest at practice,” said Glazer of Tomlin's encounter with the kids.
