Pittsburgh could soon host the NFL draft. And the whole football world will be invited. Even Cleveland Browns fans.
Though Detroit and Green Bay hold hosting duties for the 2024 and 2025 NFL Draft, the odds seem high that Pittsburgh will host the event in the following year or two. Not only would it be a notable moment for the Steelers’ franchise, it’d be a boost to the local economy.
Sitting down with WTAE’s Andrew Stockey in a Wednesday interview, Rooney believes hosting the draft would be a historic event.
“I think it’d probably be the biggest visitor event in the history of the city,” Rooney told Stockey.
