Brandon Hunt Thankful For Opportunity In Philadelphia After Super Bowl Berth

After defeating the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles are heading to the Super Bowl LVII to face the winner of the AFC Championship Game. The Eagles’ organization has a few former Pittsburgh Steelers, namely defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and director of scouting Brandon Hunt, who was formerly with the team’s front office for twelve years.

Following the Steelers’ vacancy at the general manager position upon longtime GM Kevin Colbert’s retirement, Hunt was one of six candidates to be invited for a second interview. Instead, the Steelers chose Omar Khan to be the general manager, and former Eagles’ front office member Andy Weidl to be the assistant general manager.
