A History of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL Draft, Part 4: Backfield

Welcome to part 4 of this tour through the Pittsburgh Steelers draft history. Previously in this series, we looked at the general history of Steelers drafts, as well as a breakdown of what schools the team has tended to pull from over the years.

From here, I thought it might be interesting (or, dare I say, useful) to look at what positions the Steelers have favored through the years, with particular interest in the strategies employed by Chuck Noll (from 1969 to 1991), Bill Cowher (1992 to 2006), and Mike Tomlin (2007 to the present).
