The Pittsburgh Steelers made it official on Friday and launched all-pro linebacker Patrick Queen, signing him to a brand new three-year contract. Queen stated that his motives for signing with the Steelers had been centered round playing the role of a villain – which he now could be in Baltimore – and for a possibility to play for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
But it surely wasn’t all the time hugs and love between Queen and Tomlin.
The truth is, Queen used the information convention as a possibility to look again on a time when he really needed to combat his new head coach.
It occurred throughout Queen’s rookie season when he ended up on the Steelers sideline. As Queen has advised it, Tomlin regarded straight at him and began yelling that he was not an actual Raven and that he wasn’t presupposed to be there. Within the following matchups over time Queen referenced that story greater than as soon as and the way it fueled a good larger need to beat the Steelers.
It simply by no means really occurred a lot, although, because the Steelers gained seven of their eight conferences with the Ravens throughout Queen’s Baltimore tenure.
However now Queen doesn’t have to fret about that as he’s on the opposite aspect of the rivalry and may have a possibility to play for Tomlin versus towards him.
In the long run, Tomlin was proper. He wasn’t presupposed to be in Baltimore. Possibly he was all the time destined to be a Steeler.
