Find someone who looks at you the way Kevin Colbert looked at seventh round picks. That’s the takeaway from The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly, who spoke to Colbert’s affinity for his final selections.
“If you ever talk to Kevin Colbert, he values those seventh round picks more than anybody I’ve ever met in my life,” Kaboly told 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi and Chris Mueller Friday afternoon. “He always mentions, ‘well you can always find a Brett Keisel in the seventh round.”
During his tenure as Steelers GM from 2000 through 2022, he made 30 seventh round selections.
