Presumed Steelers Successor Daniel Martin Rooney ‘More And More Visible’ In Recent Years: Batko

Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II, the third generation of the family to hold controlling interest in the team, is now 71 years old, leading to repeated inquiries about who the next in line is; fortunately, the answer hasn’t changed in a long time, that being his son, Daniel Martin Rooney.

One of five Rooneys currently in the front office or scouting department, Daniel is now roughly 35 years old. He has cut his teeth in a number of different departments already and returned to the organization in 2022. Currently the Director of Business Development & Strategy, he’s taking on more and more tasks for the future awaiting him.
