Mr. Dan Rooney was born. 🖤💛



“He was a father, a grandfather figure to everybody. He treated everybody the same. It didn’t matter who you were, where you came from, what you did, everybody was important to him. Always had time to shake your hand, look at you, talk to you. And obviously, he drafted me, took a chance on me. I know he went into that draft room and said, ‘We’re not passing him up,’ and so I wouldn’t have been here if it wasn’t for him. Just a lotta love for him and the family.” — Ben, from Sept 18, 2017.



Happy Birthday in Heaven, Mr. Rooney.
