PITTSBURGH — The Philadelphia Eagles are the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFL, and the personnel executive who rebuilt the Eagles into a Super Bowl contender will play a major role in reshaping the Steelers roster this coming offseason.
New Steelers general manager Omar Khan hired Andy Weidl to be assistant general manager overseeing the personnel department. For Weidl, a Mt. Lebanon native, it was a homecoming that was 25 years in the making.
Weidl started his scouting career with the Steelers in 1998 as an intern and had the opportunity to learn from Hall of Fame scout Bill Nunn and director of football operations Tom Donahoe, a Weidl family friend who attended South Hills Catholic in the mid-1960s with Andy’s father, George.
