One of the most iconic names in NFL history was extremely missed during the first NFL season since his passing. Dan Rooney, former Steelers owner and longtime influence in both the United States and Ireland, will be honored in a day-long symposium hosted by Duquesne University and the Ireland Funds.
The celebration will honor some of the things dearest to Rooney’s heart, including the NFL, Steelers, Ireland and the Catholic Church. The keynote speaker during the symposium will be former Vice President, Joe Biden, who was in office while Rooney served as Obama’s Ambassador of Ireland.
The list of panelists for the event also include Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, former coach Bill Cowher, CIA and NSA director General Michael V.
