Let’s rewind to 2023. “The dad in me finds this quite funny. The coach in me… not so much! Lol.” This is how Mike Tomlin reacted to one of Dino Tomlin‘s receiving touchdowns for Boston College two years ago. The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ long-term head coach had made his feelings clear on his son’s football skills, highlighted by his hunger to be better. Now, fast forward to 2025—Tomlin’s son is shining through the roof for his performance at Boston College’s Pro Day! But before we move on to know more about his Pro Day, let’s check out the three-word message his NFL coach father sent.

After Dino’s Pro Day, his father took to Instagram and posted a story with a photo of Dino. The overlay text of the story sums up what Mike Tomlin is thinking about his son right now: “I see you, @dinotomlin.” This reminds us of Dino talking about his parents’ discipline: “They always had a rule. You don’t have to do your thing, but you have to do something. … Doesn’t matter what it is, but it better be something.” Now, Dino has to pull up his socks and show his NFL head coach father some serious moves.

Starting in 2019, Dino has been playing college football for six years. He spent his first three years at Maryland, where he played 16 games and recorded three receptions. Then came the transfer—Dino moved to Boston College, where he played another three years. His stats at Boston College turned him into a hero. Over 35 games, he totaled 37 receptions but… couldn’t land a touchdown. In rushing, he made three attempts for 12 yards.

But he didn’t stop there—no way! After grinding for six years in college football and making a name for himself, Dino is now ready to take the next big step. He’s got his eyes set on the NFL and showed up at Boston College’s Pro Day to put his skills on full display. And how did he do? Oh, you’re gonna want to hear this—let’s dive in!

Mike Tomlin’s WR son showed off his best moves

After showcasing his football skills at Boston College for three years, Dino is gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft. Mike Tomlin’s son was part of Monday’s Boston College Pro Day at Fish Field House. According to SB Nation, “Linebacker Kam Arnold, defensive backs Bryquice Brown and Khari Johnson, defensive end Neto Okpala, tight end Kamari Morales, wide receiver Dino Tomlin, offensive lineman Jack Conley, and running backs Treshaun Ward and Kye Robichaux all got to shine under the spotlight.” Dino flashed his lightning-fast speed, running drills and catching passes in front of Pro personnel from all 32 NFL teams.

Now the big question is: Will Mike Tomlin draft his son in the 2025 NFL Draft? Some analysts say he definitely will, while others argue that the GM and owner have a lot of say in draft decisions, making it tricky if there’s a difference of opinion. Fans are already debating whether it would be a conflict of interest if the Steelers’ head coach signs his son.

The NFL Draft is less than a month away, and the suspense is real! Will Mike Tomlin take a chance on his son and bring him to the Steelers, or will Dino have to carve out his own path elsewhere? Some say it’s a no-brainer, while others think the decision is more complicated. Either way, all eyes are on the Tomlins, and we won’t have to wait much longer to find out!
