Few families are as intimately tied to the National Football League as the Rooneys, who have held majority control of the Pittsburgh Steelers since the organization’s founding (as the Pirates) in 1933. Art Rooney Sr. started it all, and his son, Dan Rooney, took them to another level—the highest level. Dan’s son, Art Rooney II, has been in control of the franchise for about a decade and a half, give or take.
But who is next? Art II will be turning 70 later this year. He’s not getting any younger. Who is in line to succeed him? Well, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala, it’s still the same name that we have been hearing for some time now: Daniel Martin Rooney, his son.
