Dermontti Dawson has long been a favorite for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, and that’s not often the case for offensive linemen unless they reach a level of true excellence. Considering the striking resemblance to him shared by one particular bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, though, we can safely wager that he accomplished that.
That he played his entire career in Pittsburgh didn’t hurt his likeability, either, and the former center didn’t stay there by coincidence. He wanted to. He chose to. As long as the Steelers were willing to pay him what he was worth, he didn’t want to be anywhere else, as he told Stan Savran recently during an interview on the team’s website.
