Steelers get CRUSHED in NFLPA survey? Team IMPRESSED by Ty Simpson at NFL combine?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to the NFLPA's survey results and the latest from the NFL combine.

What should we make of the team's failing grades in the union's annual report card, the results of which were leaked to ESPN this week? Does owner Art Rooney II need to invest more in facilities and player support services? Why did GM Omar Khan get a low grade from players? Will the Steelers miss the fondness players have developed for Mike Tomlin over the years? And how much impact does any of this have on competitiveness and the ability to sign top free agents like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf in recent years.

Our duo tackles those questions, then weighs in on news and notes from the combine in Indianapolis. Should we look more closely at Alabama QB Ty Simpson amid reports that he impressed the Steelers? Could LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier get a closer look because of his father's pre-existing relationship with new coach Mike McCarthy? And who intrigues Brian from the receiver meeting list that includes Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Elijah Sarratt, Ted Hurst, Antonio Williams and De’Zhaun Stribling?
