Summary
A special edition of Larry & the Big Man with Larry and Jay featuring former Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager and two-time Super Bowl champion executive Kevin Colbert. Kevin joins the show fresh off the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh to talk about what made the event such a success, how the draft has evolved from small rooms in New York to massive fan celebrations, and what really happens inside an NFL draft room. He shares insight into evaluating players, balancing analytics with the eye test, handling draft-day surprises, and why late-round success stories like Antonio Brown, Brett Keisel, James Harrison, and Willie Parker often prove teams wrong in the best way. Plus, Kevin looks back on drafting franchise icons like Ben Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu, tells great stories about James Harrison’s humor and intensity, and explains the importance of helping former players adjust to life after football through his Lend a Hand program. The conversation also shifts to Pittsburgh sports today, including Kevin’s view from inside PPG Paints Arena for Penguins vs. Flyers Game 5, Sidney Crosby’s brilliance, playoff momentum, and what makes Pittsburgh’s sports community so special.
