When Kevin Colbert helped bring the Steelers their fifth Super Bowl in 2005, Joe Greene was not all too impressed. After all, Greene was a part of a Steelers dynasty in the 1970s that filled up the trophy case. Colbert’s drafting helped them end a 25-year drought, granted, but expectations are always sky high in Pittsburgh.
A Pittsburgh native, Colbert joined the Steelers’ front office in 2000. By his fifth season, they won the Super Bowl and built a roster that would contend for years to come. At the time, Joe Greene was still on the payroll as a special assistant after coaching for many years.
