The Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in-house to succeed Kevin Colbert, choosing Omar Khan as his replacement, a man who has spent 21 years with the team. An internal hire made the most sense, especially considering the switch was made after free agency and the draft, a critical and significant offseason that saw the team draft a first-round quarterback for the first time since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
But Khan wasn’t the only front office move the team’s made. They paired him with Philadelphia Eagles’ VP of Player Personnel Andy Weidl, a Pittsburgh native coming home to serve as the team’s assistant GM.
