Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Santonio Holmes will forever be a legend in the Steel City for his heroics in Super Bowl XLIII. Holmes’ late-game magic helped Pittsburgh win its sixth Super Bowl and helped him right the wrongs of what he felt cost the ’95 Steelers the Super Bowl.
To get to that point and overcome something that bothered him for over a decade, Holmes had to be drafted by Pittsburgh. Yet, Holmes didn’t think it would happen, even after multiple draft day phone calls from the Steelers and a prediction from his step-dad.
“I always wanted to play there [in Pittsburgh], but I had no clue,” said Holmes on All Things Covered.
