It didn’t take long for Brett Keisel to love the late Dan Rooney the way everyone who met him did. But the first time they interacted, Keisel admits he thought Rooney was something closer to intern than owner. Appearing on Good Morning Football earlier this week, Keisel shared a hilarious story of meeting the Steelers’ owner.
“I knew nothing really about Pittsburgh,” Keisel admitted upon first being drafted. “My images of Pittsburgh was what I saw as a kid in books or anything. Looked like a dark steel town, smoke and smog everywhere. I was so shocked when I came through Fort Pitt Bridge there.
