With Thursday being the first day of the 2021 NFK Draft, Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports decided it was a great time to rank the biggest draft bust ever for all 32 teams.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kerr labeled outside linebacker Huey Richardson as being the team’s biggest draft bust in franchise history.
Richardson ranked No. 6 among all draft busts on Kerr’s list of 32. Quarterback Ryan Leaf, formerly of the San Diego Chargers, was ranked No. 1 and quarterback Jamarcus Russell of the Oakland Raiders was ranked No. 2.
Richardson was selected 15th overall pick by the Steelers in 1991 NFL Draft out of Florida and went on to play in just five games with team on his way recording just two tackles, plus another on special teams and no sacks.
