The Pittsburgh Steelers are known historically for their tradition of having great linebackers, a legacy that spans the era in which they played a 4-3 front through to the modern era, in which they run a 3-4 defense. While they have some members of the Hall of Fame that have played the position, many are the lesser-known names that have played an important role in the team’s history.
You won’t find those names on a list of the greatest linebackers of all time though, such as the one that Gil Brandt recently shared via the league’s website.
