Three former members of the Pittsburgh Steelers made Peter King’s all-time 53-man roster, which only includes players who were able to play at least half of their career since King’s been covering football, which started in 1984. So you won’t see Joe Greene or Lynn Swann or Jack Lambert on the list, but Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu made the team, while James Harrison was on the bench.
Ward made it along with fellow receivers Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Tyreek Hill. Of note, King said “…the players I picked are the ones I liked the most over the last four decades to impact games, to be winning players, to be the kind of players who don’t rest till they succeed.
