Short version a long time steeler scout. He has been credited with some good talent finds over the years.

he was one of the main reasons the steelers of the 70s became the best football team of all time.

Really I didn't know that. When I Yahooed it all I got was some actor. R.I.P. Bill Nunn. And thanks for the help with his ID.

He is reportedly the guy that held the Stallworth tape.

Known for discovering overlooked talent at historically black colleges. He is largely responsible for finding:

John Stallworth
Ernie Holmes
Donnie Shell
Mel Blount
L.C Greenwood

Not taking anything away from Mr Nunn. But wasn't there another scout that got a lot of credit for the steelers... One that scouted for Donahoe,, then left ...?

That was his son.

He is one of the main reasons we won our first 4 Super Bowls. He was the scout that orchestrated the 1974 draft.

Yep, he was a big part of the '70's talent and from all I have heard..a good man to have around.
RIP Mr. Nunn

I believe the Steelers draft room is named after Nunn....

Thanks TMC

 

[steelerscotty]

R.I.P. We wouldnt be the steelers we know and love without him.

 

[Crimsonsteel]

God bless Bill Nunn.

View attachment 65 RIP Bill Nunn. The timing of his passing, a day before the draft, is peculiar. I'm sure it will be emotional for the Rooneys & Steelers coaches in that room these next few days...

Thank you and heart felt peace, to the family



Salute the nation
