The Pittsburgh Steelers just wrapped up their NFL Draft class of 2022, making seven selections, including two quarterbacks and two wide receivers, and a younger brother on top of it. Head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert just wrapped up their press conference.
It was the last press conference Colbert will give in that role. He is stepping down from the general manager role shortly; with the draft over, the Steelers will hold a final round of interviews for their next general manager, and will then soon be hiring one.
While he continued to leave open the possibility of remaining in the organization as long as he can “help and not hinder”, however, there was a moment in the press conference where he couldn’t avoid the emotion of the moment.
