Legendary Steelers scout Bill Nunn dies

Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney released this statement on the passing of Bill Nunn Jr. Wednesday.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Nunn. This is a very sad day not only for the Steelers organization, but for the game of football. It is hard to put into a few words what Bill’s many contributions to our organization have meant over his 46 years with us. On a personal level, Bill was a friend, mentor and trusted confidant.
