If you were to list the greatest left tackle in Pittsburgh Steelers history, you would most likely say Jon Kolb. Kolb was drafted in 1969 and played for the Steelers until 1981. He was a stalwart on the 1970s offensive line as he protected QB Terry Bradshaw and helped power Pittsburgh’s run game.
Yet, Kolb never thought he was going to be drafted by Pittsburgh. Kolb was at Acrisure Stadium for the Steelers home opener and talked with former Steeler Arthur Moats about his draft story. In the interview, which you can watch on the Arthur Moats YouTube channel, he explained that the Steelers were the one team he thought wasn’t going to draft him.
