There are several iconic plays in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, including the Immaculate Reception, Lynn Swann’s incredible Super Bowl catches and Santonio Holmes’ game-winning grab in Super Bowl 43. However, maybe no play exemplifies the gritty, tough nature of the Steelers more than Willie Parker’s 75-yard touchdown run in Super Bowl 40. Parker’s speed and vision were key on that play, but the thing that most people point out is Alan Faneca pulling and delivering a bone-crushing block to create a massive hole. Faneca’s name isn’t often brought up when people outside of Steelers fandom talk about all-time great players, but it appears one former Pro Bowl guard sees Faneca as one of the best players ever at his position.
