The NFL just lost a legend.
On Thursday, the Steelers announced that owner, icon, and Hall of Famer Dan Rooney passed away. He was 84.
Rooney, the father of the Rooney Rule, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000. His impact, of course, went beyond the Rooney Rule, which made it a requirement for teams to interview at least one minority candidate for vacant head coaching positions. He was one of the most influential figures in the entire league and, of course, with the Steelers.
More to come.
