In the eyes of many modern day Steelers fans, there is and only will be one James Farrior. The former first-round draft pick of the Jets way back in 1997, Farrior is often considered perhaps as the absolute best free-agent acquisition of the Kevin Colbert era. A freshly-minted member of the team’s Ring Of Honor in 2020, his career spans 15 seasons and 1,444 tackles, 35.5 sacks and 11 picks. His finest season came in 2004, when he racked up 94 tackles, three sacks and a career-best four interceptions, and he came very close to beating out Hall Of Fame safety Ed Reed for NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award.
