When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers, your first thought usually goes to the defensive side of the ball. A franchise with a rich history of defensive stars headlined by old-timers like Joe Greene, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, and so many more legends.
That trend continued into the 2000s, Pittsburgh’s defense leading the team to three Super Bowl appearances. That iteration of the Steelers touted new legends are now etched in franchise lore. Safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison were the headliners of the group, but perhaps the most underappreciated player was cornerback Ike Taylor.
In a recent episode of the Why Willie Show, former Steelers offensive line Willie Colon and the aforementioned Harrison sang Taylor’s praises as a key player on those teams.
