Omar Khan’s 23 months since being anointed the Steelers GM, following Kevin Colbert’s post 2022-draft retirement, has been a masterclass of maximizing return and minimizing risk. Khan set the tone for his eyebrow-raising, now cheer-inducing tenure when he sent underperforming receiver Chase Claypool packing to Chicago in return for the Bears’ second-round pick in the 2023 draft. That selection turned to gold as the Bears kept losing and the pick kept trending upward. When all was said and done, it settled at No. 32 – technically a first rounder since the Patriots had to forfeit their selection. With it, Khan brought Joey Porter Jr., the Penn State cornerback with a Steelers legacy, home. It became the highlight of a stellar Steelers’ draft that produced contributors, if not starters, across the board. Khan’s moves helped propel the 2023 team into the playoffs. Now, Khan’s overriding goal is to add enough talent to take the 2024 team a step further and actually win a postseason contest for the first time in seven insufferable seasons.
