According to ESPN reporter Pete Thamel, former Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert is headed back to college. Thamel is reporting that Colbert is joining the Colorado State University football program as a consultant.
The Rams are bringing in Colbert to help CSU stay up to speed with the ever-changing landscape of college football. In simplest terms, Colbert is being brought in to help with the financial side of NIL deals and college football becoming a spend-to-win league.
Colbert worked in the Steelers front office from 2002-2022 and helped build two Super Bowl champion rosters. Colbert stepped down after the 2022 NFL draft leaving way for Omar Khan to become the Steelers new general manager.
