As the old saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but they worked on it every single day.”
This describes Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan’s football journey to a tee. He started out working in the football operations department with the New Orleans Saints back in 1997 and later joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2001 as the team’s Football Administration Coordinator. He would gradually rise up the ranks in the front office, receiving the titles of Director of Football Administration and Vice President of Football & Business Administration.
In 2022 after former Steelers GM Kevin Colbert retired, Khan was selected from a host of candidates to become Pittsburgh’s new general manager.
