The Steelers’ dynasty of the 1970s is often remembered for its phenomenal defense, as well as its offensive stars like Franco Harris, Lynn Swann and Terry Bradshaw. However, even though he would go on to be named Super Bowl MVP twice, Bradshaw’s career didn’t start out that hot, with the other two quarterbacks in Pittsburgh having just as much of a chance to start as the young Bradshaw.
Fans will probably be most familiar with Terry Hanratty as the other Steelers’ signal caller of the 70s, but Joe Gilliam was just as much of a threat to start early on.
