Kevin Colbert spent 22 years in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office, overseeing every draft pick from WR Plaxico Burress to QB Chris Oladokun. Burress is the last player the Steelers have ever drafted inside the top 10. Colbert’s success is a key reason they never drafted that high over the next two decades.
And he forged a critical part of his legacy through the draft. Just like everybody else, he doesn’t have a spotless record, but he has a lot of triples and home runs. Oladokun was a strikeout, even if an insignificant one as a seventh-round flyer.
