John Stallworth
Hines Ward
Jerome Bettis
Greg LLoyd
Casey Hampton

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.

 

This thread gives me an idea...

 

Do not be alarmed by the smoke in the building the is no Fire I repeat the is no Fire, Tim just got an idea thats all folks.

 

This might take a day or two to come to fruition.

 

You're being generous.

 

Lambert

AB

12th Man: Bubby Brister

 

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

 

Its all the Blow he is snorting.

 

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

This would be my top 11

 

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.

 

greatest*

 

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

Newly revised after removing cranium from spincter. Thanks to SK

 

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.

 

Sad to see Stallworth not getting mentions.

 

No Bradshaw?

 

Sounds about right.
