Steelers are still paying the price for their former GM’s 2022 mistakes

Kevin Colbert was a huge reason for the success of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2000s. He helped build some great teams that achieved a lot of success. There are two more Lombardi trophies in the case because of his contributions to this organization.
