The Athletic’s Mike Sando recently ranked all owners based on their team’s winning percentage since they took over, and Art Rooney II came in third with a .613 winning percentage since assuming majority ownership of the Steelers in 2017.
Sando wrote that some “ownership situations are difficult to evaluate for reasons such as owners allowing their offspring to operate their teams. I’ve used simple criteria in ranking owners from worst to best win rates…” That’s why, for example, Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris, who assumed ownership of the team ahead of this season, is in last with Washington at 4-9.
