After 22 years as General Manager of his hometown team, Kevin Colbert is stepping away from his role with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With him goes an era that was rather lucrative for the Steelers, who won two Super Bowls under Colbert’s guidance building rosters each and every year.
Along with that, Colbert goes out as a member of the old guard in the NFL at the GM position. For 22 years, Colbert did things in an old-school way, reaching the mountaintop of his process in a rather unique way overall.
Prior to landing in the NFL in 1984 as a scout with BLESTO (Bears, Lions, Eagles, Steelers Talent Organization), where he served for season before landing with the Miami Dolphins as a college scout from 1985-89.
