Overview
- NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reported on January 24 that Pittsburgh is expected to add Tim Gribble to its scouting staff.
- Gribble exits Washington after 24 seasons, serving as director of college scouting/personnel since 2020, with earlier experience in the Steelers’ scouting department and roots in the Pittsburgh area.
- Pittsburgh has not disclosed Gribble’s specific title or responsibilities, with coverage only indicating he will join the scouting group.
- Observers note the January timing is unusual for scouting hires and view it as strengthening evaluation work ahead of the 2026 draft in Pittsburgh.
- The development comes as assistant GM Andy Weidl interviews for the Falcons’ general manager job and the franchise navigates leadership changes following Mike Tomlin’s departure.
