One of the candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers general manager vacancy was ESPN analyst and former NFL pro personnel director Louis Riddick. The Steelers interviewed him to potentially replace Kevin Colbert. But with Riddick signing a new contract with ESPN to call NFL games, he is off the board.
Riddick worked in the league as either a pro scout or pro personnel director for 13 seasons. Riddick is a PA native and attended the University of Pittsburgh and played football there before having a seven-year career in the NFL.
