Longtime Steelers GM Kevin Colbert is stepping down following the 2022 NFL draft, team owner Art Rooney II said Friday.
“We have left the door open, Kevin and I, to possibly have him fill an ongoing role after the draft,” Rooney said. “We will be conducting a search for a new GM starting immediately. Probably won't make a hire until after the draft. We will be interviewing people. We've already interviewed two of our in-house candidates: Omar Khan and Brandon Hunt.”
The move was expected, as reports surfaced earlier this month about Colbert's decision. It truly is an end to an era for the Steelers, between legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger retiring and Colbert leaving.
