I begin today with some memories of former Steelers’ tight end Bennie Cunningham who passed away Monday at the age of 63. Cunningham would win two Super Bowls with the Black and Gold and was instantly recognizable by his huge afro when he took his helmet off on the sidelines. Cunningham was rightfully overshadowed by the likes of John Stallworth and Lynn Swann. That’s not a knock on Cunningham but rather, it’s just an indication of how different the tight end position was back then. Cunningham played all 10 of his NFL seasons with the Steelers and the most receptions he had in any season were 41 in 1981.
