Colbert: Steelers trying to maintain some normalcy

The Steelers haven't taken advantage of the NFL's rules to allow video conference calls with draft prospects as of yet, but that will soon change.

According to Kevin Colbert, the team is trying to keep its schedule somewhat the same through troubling times as it deals with the rules surrounding social distancing because of the coronavirus outbreak. Those conference calls will take the place of personal meetings the team would have had with prospective draft targets and begin taking place later this week.

“What we’re doing, this would have been the week we would have been at the owners meetings. We would have been going back to pro days on Thursday and doing some interviews on site at places,” Colbert said via conference call Tuesday night. “What we’re going to do, the visits we had planned when we got back from the owners meetings, we’re going to do video/audio interviews with those players. That’s good access. It’s not as good as sitting down with a guy in person, but we’ll make the most of it and get the information we need.”
