The Pittsburgh Steelers are perhaps more than any other team in the history of the NFL known for having a great lineage of linebackers, which I suppose would really go back to Andy Russell, who was a transitional player from the franchise’s dog days to their sudden dynasty.
Those who followed were among the best to ever play the game, including Jack Ham and Jack Lambert, both of whom are in the Hall of Fame, but many others since then have contributed to that legacy, including a free agent signing who had his best years year, Kevin Greene.
