There have been a handful of NFL players who have made the switch from tight end to tackle at some point in their careers. Jason Peters, Joe Alt and even former Steeler Alejandro Villanueva. But none of them changed their position in the middle of their professional career like Steelers Ring of Honor member Larry Brown did.
After winning two Super Bowls with Pittsburgh as a tight end, Brown switched to the offensive line in 1977. During a recent interview with Portage Learning, he recounted the moment when Chuck Noll started to plant the seeds for his position change.
