Jason Gildon Recalls Nerves Before First NFL Sack Against Dan Marino: ‘Don’t Mess Up’

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently unveiled their Hall of Honor class for 2024, and it included Dick LeBeau, Willie Parker, Casey Hampton, and Jason Gildon. Hampton and Parker may be more familiar to fans because of their work helping the Steelers win championships in the 2000s, and LeBeau is well-known as the architect of those fantastic defenses, but Gildon might not be a name fans appreciate enough. He held the record for most sacks in Steelers history until James Harrison came along, and he recently talked about how that journey started with his first sack.

Gildon was with the Steelers from 1994-2003, and was selected to three Pro Bowls, as well as being named first-team All-Pro once.
