You hear it often when analysts try to describe football players: “They’re an old-school throwback-type player.”
What does that mean, though?
Go Long TD’s Ty Dunne tries to explain that with his annual “All Old-School Team.” The “All Old-School Team” highlights those players who play the game in an old-school fashion, meaning tough, hard-nosed, and, most importantly for Dunne, which players remind us of the sport that we all fell in love with as kids.
Fortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, two players on the roster meet that criteria for Dunne and fellow analyst Bob McGinn.
