Reflecting On Front-Office Career, Kevin Colbert Believes ‘Analytic Side Of Things’ Will Continue To Grow In NFL

With the 2022 NFL Draft now in the rearview mirror, change is coming for the Pittsburgh Steelers as General Manager Kevin Colbert transitions to a new role within the organization after 22 years in charge of roster construction and overall player acquisition.

In those 22 years, Colbert has seen the NFL change drastically, not only from an on-field product, but to the level of popularity the league has now reached, making it a seemingly year-round product.

Appearing on the 102.5 WDVE morning show with Randy Baumann Tuesday to discuss the 2022 NFL Draft, Colbert reflected on his time in charge of the Steelers, and highlighted the ever-changing landscape in the NFL, stating that the introduction of analytics has been the biggest change he’s had to deal with from a scouting standpoint overall.
