You cannot discuss the NFL Draft being in Pittsburgh without mentioning the man who transformed the draft...and the future of the Steelers In the 60's Pittsburgh Courier writer, Bill Nunn, was responsible for selecting the black All-American team. He'd spend the fall in the deep south meeting with coaches... and developed a network of over 100 schools Despite there being virtually no black scouts in the NFL, Dan Rooney was bold and smart enough to hire Bill Over the next 6 years, the Steelers drafted 25 players from HBCUs - more than double the league average Famously in 1974, Bill pulled off what is still the greatest draft class of all-time. 4 Hall of Famers + Donnie Shell as an undrafted free agent (another HOfer) His career with the Steelers last 47 years.

Bill Belichick not being in the HOF in year 1 is a disgrace. Once again — like with Terrell Owens — the self-righteous “stewards” of the Pro Football Hall of Fame have made it about themselves instead of the players and coaches. Shame!!!

Roger Craig belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as the first of only 3 players to have 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same season. More than his records, he was the engine of the 49ers West Coast Offense under Bill Walsh and a three-time SB champion. Vote him in now.

I give the Pittsburgh Steelers TJ Watt all the credit in the world. This is the second time he did autographs up here in Latrobe. And It’s only day 3. Today he went from the beginning of the fan access all the way to the very end. Signing everything he could. Then, he went down on the field and signed more autographs for a special group that came in after camp was over. I actually left and he was still on the field talking and taking selfies with them.
