Steelers Film Room Throwback Thursday: Linebacker Jack Ham always in position

This week we pop in the VCR to check out how great Jack Ham was back with the 70's and 80's Steelers.

While the legendary Steel Curtain defense was led by the defensive line and Hall of Fame defensive tackle Joe Greene, the players at the second level of the defense, the linebackers, built their own legends throughout the 1970's with big hits, huge plays and timely turnovers.

While the star of the linebackers was always Jack Lambert, Jack Ham was equally recognized for being an elite outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ham was drafted in 1971 and started all but one game of his rookie season.
