Steelers have new pro scouting director Brandon Hunt

As former pro scouting director Doug Whaley left the Pittsburgh Steelers to become an assistant general manager with the Buffalo Bills, the Steelers brought back Brandon Hunt to take replacement. And this time, Hunt came as experienced and professional.

Hunt’s first appearance in Pittsburgh was in 2005 when he came as an intern in their player personnel department. After spending two seasons with those playing pro football in Steelers jerseys, he went to Texans to become a pro scout for the Houston Texans in 2007.

Before doing the player personnel job, Hunt was a football player at Division II Indiana (Pa.) University. From 2000 to 2003, he played four years of college football as a starting offensive lineman and played once in the all-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference team as a guard.
