Is this ‘not your grandfather’s Pittsburgh Steelers’? That seems to be the prevailing characterization of the first full year under the new front office led by Omar Khan as general manager and Andy Weidl as his assistant. For decades prior, it was Kevin Colbert in the lead seat, having stepped down after the 2022 NFL Draft.
Though Khan spent all of that time under Colbert and learned quite a bit from him, many have been painting this past year as a departure in the organization, reading into every move something new and different, something Colbert wouldn’t have done.
