For the first time since 2000, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a new general manager. To put that in perspective, a longer span since they last needed a quarterback. Art Rooney II confirmed yesterday Kevin Colbert will step down as GM following the 2022 NFL Draft and the team is immediately searching for his replacement, though they won’t make an official hire until after the draft.
So who could the heir be? We know two candidates already, Omar Khan and Brandon Hunt, both of whom Rooney said have already interviewed with the team. I’ll outline background on both those guys below and throw out a couple names I think make sense for the team when they conduct external interviews.
