The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback was skilled at multiple positions on the field.
With Neil O’Donnell entering the final year of his contract in 1995, the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to use their second-round pick in that year’s NFL Draft on former Colorado quarterback Kordell Stewart.
During his time at Colorado, Stewart displayed the ability to make impressive throws in the pocket as a passer and also use his legs to make plays with the ball in his hands. When he was added to Pittsburgh’s roster in 1995, the team knew they had to figure out how to get this incredible athlete out on the field even if he wasn’t going to be their starting quarterback.
