Steelers, Colbert complete draft with another Heyward, QB

Kevin Colbert choked up as he spoke about the final draft of his 22 years with the Steelers moments after the team made its final selection on Saturday.

Colbert, who announced earlier this year that he was retiring at the conclusion of this draft when his contract runs out, was asked Saturday where he felt he had left the franchise.

Colbert, who presided over one losing season three Super Bowl appearances and two wins in 22 years as the Steelers' personnel director started to answer before choking up when talking about those two championships and late Steelers president Dan Rooney.
