" I can't see us being without him. He's like the last brick in the wall." Terry Bradshaw says of Joe Greene. "Mean" Joe Greene as they call him was a defensive lineman for the Steelers during the 1970's. He was the greatest defensive lineman to ever play for the Steelers. Joe Greene was the number one draft choice in 1969, and he is now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Some say he is the single most important person on the Steelers success, and he will always be remembered.
	Rocky Bleier was the running back alongside Franco Harris during the 1970's. Although Bleier has a different story than most NFL players. Bleier left the NFL after one year of playing because he was recruited into World War II. In the war, Bleier was shot, and he had grenade fragments blown into his foot. Even after this, Bleier came back in 1970, and he worked his hardest to make a difference for the Steelers. He did just that, and he played on all four of the Steeler's Super Bowl winning teams.
		It is said that Mel Blount may be the best comeback in the history of the Steelers. Blount came to the Steelers in 1970. He has played tremendously and has been selected to go to four Pro Bowls. In 1975, he had the league with eleven interceptions. Mel Blount was another hardworking Pittsburgh Steeler.
	Terry Bradshaw has fulfilled the dream of every Quarterback to ever play football. He has led his team to four winning super bowls. Bradshaw was the number one pick overall in 1970, and he has twice been named Most Valuable Player of both the Super Bowl and the Steelers. He is now in the Hall of Fame, and he will never be forgotten.
		L.C. Greenwood was considered the backbone of the Steelers "Steel Curtain" defense. He was the Steelers 10th pick in 1969, but to a pleasant surprise, he was much better than expected Greenwood was named to the Pro Bowl six times in his eleven years with the Steelers. He has always been the big play guy, and he is known for getting the defense going.
	He was the Steelers first draft choice in 1972 out of Penn State. He is one of the greatest big game running backs in the history of the NFL playoffs. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for eight straight seasons, and he is now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This man is Franco Harris, the Steelers's star running back during the 1970's.
		Harris is most known for his "Immaculate Reception" in a Steelers's playoff game verses the Oakland Raiders. Terry Bradshaw threw an attempted pass toward another Steeler running back Frenchi Fuequa with little time remaining and the Steelers needing points. The ball was deflected, and Harris picked it out of the air right above his shoelaces. He then took it in for a touchdown to give the Steelers a victory. This play will go down as one of the greatest clutch plays ever.
	The super bowl is known to bring out the best in Lynn Swann. He seems to thrive on pressure situations better than anyone. He had a sensational touchdown catch in Super Bowl XIV. He is not very modest when he says that he believe John Stallworth and himself were the two best receivers on one team. Swann was the Steelers's number one draft choice in 1974, which is the year John Stallworth was drafted too. They are two great receivers, a dynamic duo.
