One of the most impressive players of his era, “Mean” Joe Greene was a franchise changer for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the late 60s and throughout the 70s.
When it comes to discussing some of the greatest defensive players in the history of the NFL, Greene has to be part of that conversation.
Knowing that, it comes as no surprise that former NFL and college football head coach Dave Wannstedt, now working for the 33rd Team as an analyst, named Greene to his all-time defensive front seven Wednesday. Greene was joined by the likes of New York’s Lawrence Taylor, Green Bay’s Reggie White, and Los Angeles’ Aaron Donald, along with Tampa Bay’s Derrick Brooks, Baltimore’s Ray Lewis and San Diego’s Junior Seau at linebacker.
