    NFL.com has list of the top 11 players of every teams history. Our 11 are:
    1 Joe Greene
    2 Franco Harris
    3 Jack Lambert
    4 Mel Blount
    5 Terry Bradshaw
    6 Ben Roethlisberger
    7 Jack Ham
    8 Rod Woodson
    9 Mike Webster
    10 Troy Polamalu
    11 Antonio Brown
    Coach Chuck Noll

    Good list, but left off

    LC Greenwood
    Andy Russle
    Donnie Shell
    Dermonti Dawson
    James Harrison
    Heath Miller
    Lynn Swann
    John Stallworth
    Hines Ward
    Jerome Bettis
    Greg LLoyd
    Casey Hampton
    LeVeon Bell
    Maurkice Pouncey

    That is my top Twenty Five. No way I can make an 11 man list

    Forgot
    Stautner and Butler from the pre greatness days.

    I can make an 11 man list

    IMO my brother, no one can make a definitive top 11 from the cast we have been so fortunate to watch. Statistically speaking, the players, their perspective positions and the greatness each one has displayed at those positions will make it impossible to pick. Exceptional athletes with too diverse skill sets.

    your list of 14 + stautner, butler, jh johnson, etc ... you just can't get there from here. What a great problem to have !

    How do you even begin to pick 11 guys from some franchises? I mean franchises like the Steelers, Bears, Packers, 49ers, Browns, Raiders and Cowboys (among others im sure) have such storied histories with great players. Newer franchises like the Panthers, Jaguars, and Texans would be much easier I would imagine.


    I think everyones top 11 would be different sure you will see a lot of the same name but the order is going to change around quite a bit. I thin Joe has to go #1 because he reshaped the franchise. I dont think Ben makes my top 11.

    You really love you some Franco Harris. Is that why you put him twice?

    It’s impossible to pick 11 great Steelers so I declare a 15 way tie for 11th place so 25 Steelers can be on my list. No way I can pick 11 out of our all time greats. We aren’t some crap organization like the Patriots.

    I didn't start watching football until the 90s so my top 11 will be from then on. The historic players have been well covered already, though just glancing through I didn't see a lot of love for Mel Blount which I think I would've found a spot for him. Anyways, my top 11 from roughly 1993-present
    1. Antonio Brown
    2. James Harrison
    3. Ben Roethlisberger
    4. Rod Woodson
    5. Le'Veon Bell
    6. Troy Polamalu
    7. Greg Lloyd
    8. Dermonti Dawson
    9. Hines Ward
    10. James Farrior
    11. Jerome Bettis
    Just missed: Joel Steed, Jason Gildon, Alan Faneca, Aaron Smith, Casey Hampton

    I should be flogged for missing him... clearly an oversight...

    Joe Greene
    Mel Blount
    Rod Woodson
    Mike Webster
    Troy Polamalu
    Antonio Brown
    Jack Ham
    Jack Lambert
    Lynn Swann
    James Harrison
    Dermonti Dawson

    That’s ok I should have my eyes checked. The other lists did have Blount on them...guess I just missed him, my bad

    Good catch. Meant Webster for the second Harris.
     
  18. rediiis Guest

    Sad to see Stallworth not getting mentions.
     
  19. rediiis Guest

    No Bradshaw?
     
  20. firehalo Guest

    Sounds about right.
