It’s not hard to imagine why Greg Lloyd was, and remains, a fan favorite among the Pittsburgh Steelers faithful over the years. Even if he didn’t put up eye-popping sack numbers as the premium pass-rush position, he was a genuinely dynamic talent who contributed in ways that may not always be appreciated.
Specifically, he was asked to drop in coverage a lot. They didn’t keep pass-defensed statistics at that time, but he did record 11 interceptions over the course of his career, which is a lot for an edge rusher. And he had 35 forced fumbles, as well, including at least five in six consecutive seasons, which is stellar.
