While Kevin Colbert won’t go to bat for his own Hall of Fame candidacy, he certainly will for Art Rooney Jr. There are already two Rooneys in the Hall of Fame, but Colbert firmly believes at least one more is deserving. Fewer people know about Art Rooney Jr. than they do his father, Art Rooney Sr., or his brother, Dan Rooney. In terms of football, though, they certainly should.
Art Rooney Jr. was the Steelers’ personnel director during their dynasty, with Bill Nunn working under him. Together, they built that championship roster from scratch, drafting a litany of Hall of Fame talent.
