‘Very Thorough Process’ Led Steelers To In-House Promotion Of Omar Khan, Art Rooney II Says

It’s been clear for many, many years now how the Steelers do business. After all, there’s a reason why after many players leave the team, they’re quick to point out the “Steelers Way” and the fact that they’re held to a higher standard than other organizations. Thus, it should’ve came as no surprise at how owner Art Rooney II left literally no stone unturned in his search for the next general manager replacing the highly-successful departing Kevin Colbert.

The search ranged far and wide across the league, from ESPN analyst and former Director of Pro Personnel for the Eagles, Louis Riddick, to in-house candidates like Pro Scouting Coordinator Brandon Hunt or VP of Football & Business Admin, Omar Khan.
