Eighteen former Pittsburgh Steelers came off the board in Monday Morning Quarterback’s all-time NFL draft, published on Wednesday. Some of the selected Steelers were http://www.authenticcowboyssale.com/shop-by-players-travis-frederick-jersey-c-2_54.html incredibly predictable, others were altogether obscure and, yes, there was a round for coaches in which Chuck Noll was picked. The 25-round draft board is understandably not sorted by NFL team, so we did that work for you below. It was carried out by 12 NFL experts, including MMQB editor-in-chief Peter King, under the assumption that great players of any era would’ve also been that great in another Their rules, explained Some notes on the Steelers, then all the Steelers drafted: Scrolling through this the names of Marion Motley and Walt Kiesling, across from the word "Pittsburgh" prompted double takes. Motley was a fourth-round pick and the fourth former Steeler taken in this draft. The running back only played in Pittsburgh for one year. He was with the Cleveland Browns from 1946-53 before suiting up for the Steelers in 1955, which was the last season of his career. Riesling, a guard, began his career with the http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-byron-jones-jersey-c-2_5.html Duluth Eskimoes in 1927 and finished it as a Pittsburgh Pirate – NFL teams did that back then – from 1937-38. Apart from a few career Steelers who had a spare year in other cities, those were the only players who had long careers elsewhere — other than Gary Anderson. The kicker is hardly forgotten. It's just a weird bend of history that one of the game's great kickers spent 13 seasons with one of the sport's more successful franchises without playing in a Super Bowl or even an AFC Championship game. Who liked Steelers the most King, former Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Colts and New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi and former NFL head of player personnel Joel Bussert each picked three Steelers. Bussert snagged Dermontti Dawson, Jack Butler and Alan Faneca while King picked up Jack Lambert, Franco Harris and – after trading http://www.authenticraiderssale.com/shop-by-players-tim-brown-jersey-c-2_26.html away Bill Belichick – Noll. Accorsi drafted Motley, John Stallworth and Anderson. Another historic reunion Hall of Fame NFL executive Ron Wolf got Joe Greene and Mel Blount. All the other Steelers were scattered away from each other on the other nine teams. |
