Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin is making waves, as his recent picture with sports world sensations took the internet by storm. Tomlin and his wife sharing the same frame as WNBA star Caitlin Clark and the icon Serena Williams sent the fans into a frenzy, sure, but his son Dino Tomlin’s reaction to the picture won hearts.
Dino’s Wholesome Reaction to His Parents’ Picture
The NFL annual meeting took place from March 30 through April 2 in West Palm Beach, Florida. On Day 1, Williams and Clark were among the biggest names in sports. The two were part of a panel discussion on the topic “The Changing Face of Sports and Its Impact on the NFL.” Eli Manning and Mellody Hobson were also a part of the discussion.
As the Steelers head coach, Tomlin was also present with his wife, leading to a meet-up of the Williams, Clark, and the Tomlins. Tomlin’s son, Dino Tomlin, reposted the picture of the Steelers head coach with his wife, Kiya Tomlin, Clark, and Williams on his Instagram story, captioning it as “4 GOATs”.
The panel discussion was about the growth of women’s sports and its potential to be on par with men’s sports in terms of commerce and revenue. “Yesterday was a blur and all about the future of women at the annual @nfl Annual Meeting @caitlinclark22 @alexisohanian @elimanning. I love the future of women, don’t you?,” Williams captioned her Instagram post with Clark.
In the wake of annual league meetings, Tomlin has another impending event that he would be more excited about: The 2025 NFL Draft, as the Steelers head coach and but even more as a father.
Dino Tomlin’s Pro Day Performance Impresses NFL Scouts
Tomlin is a wide receiver prospect entering the 2025 NFL Draft out of Boston College. He committed to the University of Maryland as three-star recruit coming out of Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh. In his three seasons there, he played in four games as a freshman, four games as a redshirt freshman, and in 11 games the next season.
In the 2022 season, he transferred to Boston. While he did not immediately become a starter, he played in all 12 games in his first year and totaled 10 receptions for 181 yards.
Tomlin was not named the starter for the following season either, but he played in 13 games and produced 24 receptions for 312 yards. Overall, in his college career, Tomlin played in 51 games, recording 40 receptions for 552 yards and no touchdowns. He also had three rushing attempts for 12 yards.
Tomlin’s performance on his Pro Day was decent as well. It will be interesting to see whether the elder Tomlin makes a case to the Steelers to draft his son in the later rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft.
