The Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted two Hall of Fame quarterbacks. There was Terry Bradshaw in 1970 and Ben Roethlisberger in 2004. Frankly, they should have a third. The team surprisingly passed on hometown kid Dan Marino in the 1983 draft and in Yahoo Sports Frank Schwab’s list of the biggest “woes” and regrets by each team, missing on Marino made the list.
He called it the biggest mistake in the organization’s history, writing:
“The Steelers needed to replace Terry Bradshaw, who was near the end of a great career. Aware of drug rumors with Marino, the Steelers took Texas Tech defensive tackle Gabriel Rivera.
