Few in the NFL have been able to spend 22 years in one place. For a GM like Kevin Colbert, he’s practically a unicorn. Or more accurately, a football legend, liked and respected by virtually everyone in the business. And not just professional football. As the Clemson Tigers showed earlier this week, the college game has a lot of love for him too.
Colbert and head coach Mike Tomlin made a seemingly annual stop to Clemson this year for the Tigers’ Pro Day. Colbert was there to scout players but left with a gift, a framed Colbert Clemson Tigers’ jersey, presented to him by Tigers’ head coach Dabo Swinney.
