Throughout his 22-year tenure as Director of Football Operations and later General Manager, Kevin Colbert had quite the impressive track record as a talent evaluator and drafter. He consistently hauled in rather strong draft classes and high-end talent that went on to become high-level players in the NFL.
Names like Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, David DeCastro, Casey Hampton, Heath Miller, Maurkice Pouncey, Antonio Brown, Cameron Heyward, Ryan Shazier and T.J. Watt come to mind when it comes to some of the best picks in the Colbert era.
But in the last decade, two stand out above the rest from the Colbert tenure as part of the 50 biggest NFL Draft steals of the last decade, those being running back Le’Veon Bell in 2013 and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave in 2016, according to ESPN’s Matt Miller and Jordan Reid.
