Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is shifting training camp practices to the afternoon in 2025 to create a hotter and more stressful environment aimed at enhancing player development.

Tomlin believes that higher temperatures will aid in physical conditioning and contribute to a more challenging training experience for the team.

The Steelers' training camp will be held at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, which is located about an hour east of Acrisure Stadium.

This offseason, the Steelers made headlines by signing 41-year-old quarterback and four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, who will now throw passes to new star wide receiver DK Metcalf, a two-time Pro Bowler acquired from the Seattle Seahawks.

Entering his 19th season, Tomlin has a remarkable record of never having a losing season, boasting a 183-107-2 regular-season record, although the Steelers have not won a playoff game since the 2016 season.

The Steelers concluded the 2024 season with a 10-7 record but were eliminated by the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC wild-card round.

Star linebacker T.J. Watt is currently absent from minicamp as he seeks a contract extension, being in the final year of his four-year, $112 million deal.

Despite Watt's absence, Tomlin remains optimistic about resolving the contract situation.
