I just think it is too early to make anyone else's top 10. He's on his way, though.
I'm upset at myself that I forgot about Merril Hoge when making my list. :x
Re: Your Own Personal Top Ten Favorite Steeler Players
Holmes is on Shifkos. Big surprise. :wink:

Re: Your Own Personal Top Ten Favorite Steeler Players
Here is my ten...but it is too hard to rank them....it is even hard to pick only ten...and I wasn't even around for the 70's teams...
Greg Lloyd-If I had to pick a #1, he would probably be it. I loved watching him play D. Opposing offenses were scared of him!
Joey Porter-took the torch from Lloyd and didn't disapoint.
Big Ben-Best qb in my lifetime as a Steeler fan. I wasn't around for the 70's team
Franco Harris I wasn't old enough to see him play until late in his career. My first football number was 32 because of him...I think I was 8, but I remember being so pissed seing him play for Seattle
Barry Foster He had some great years. I think he is under appreciated for what he did.
Jerome Bettis what a pickup he was!
Rod Woodson I was at the game against the Jets early in his career when he returned a punt. He was a favorite of mine ever since.
HInes Ward Has there ever been anyone more dependable?
Allen Faneca Regardless of us not resigning him, he was one of the most dominating lineman of his time. He was a huge part to our success.
Yancey Thigpen One of my favorite moments ever was when he pulled the terrible towel out after scoring in the playoffs.
That was ten and I feel like I have left so many out....We are lucky, because we have had alot of great players play for us through the years
