For the second year in a row, Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan is present at the annual HBCU Combine. This is a similar event to the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, but features players from historically black colleges and universities around the nation. Khan was the only GM present at the event last year and is once again on site at the event, per an announcement on the NFL Network broacast of the event.
The Steelers have a long history of interest in HBCUs dating back to Hall of Fame scout Bill Nunn and his efforts to promote talent at these schools.
