‘Started To Really Appreciate Everything,’ Kevin Colbert Says Following Display Of Emotion Following Draft

Twenty-two years after landing with his hometown team as President of Football Operations and later General Manager, the time has come for Kevin Colbert to hand it up and transition into a new role within the organization.

Following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft Saturday in Las Vegas, Colbert completed his final major milestone with the Steelers. Though his contract runs through May 31, Colbert wouldn’t allow himself to truly reflect on the moment and allow members of the team to celebrate his time in the black and gold as he was focused on the draft, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
