Former Steelers HC Mike Tomlin reveals massive Minecraft city - ESPN

Mike Tomlin is a Super Bowl-winning head coach, is second on the Pittsburgh Steelers' all-time wins list and famously never had a losing record in 19 seasons with the Steelers.

But on Wednesday, Tomlin showed a side of himself rarely seen: that of an architect. On Minecraft, to be exact.

Speaking about his passions for high-rise buildings and urban planning, Tomlin unveils his Minecraft world in a nearly 20-minute YouTube video. Tomlin has been working on the ongoing project for 12-plus years.
