THE PLAYERS

 

 

 

 

Ben Roethlisberger

He is the star quarter back of the Pittsburgh Steelers.  He led the Steelers to a 15-1 record in the 2004 season. And last year he took the Steelers to super bowl forty. He is Ben Rothlisburger. Ben was the number one draft pick of the Steelers and the number three draft pick over all in the 2004 draft. Ben got his start at the university of Miami Ohio. In the two years that Ben has played in the NFL he has over 5000 passing yards with 34 touch downs. At six foot five inches and 241 pounds big Ben is a force to recon with. I believe that in the 2006 season Ben may just lead the Steelers to another super bowl.

 

Wille Parker

Wille Parker, the running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers who in 2004 season alone, had a total of 1202 rushing yards. In 2004 coming out of North Carolina Wille Parker was picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. As a Steeler Wille Parker has had good success in running. Wille has had a total of 1503 rushing yards, 247 receiving yards and a total of nine touch downs. Wille was a big help to the Steelers in their 2005 season helping lead them to a super bowl victory. I believe that in the 2006 season Wille will get great yardage for the team and help lead them to another super bowl victory.

 

 

Hines ward

Hines Ward, one of the greatest, most aggressive wide receivers ever to play football. Hines came to the Steelers in 1998coming out of Georgia and going into the draft. Once Hines came to the Steelers he became one of the biggest playmakers. In Hines’s history as a Steeler in eight seasons he has gained over 7000 yard in 579 receptions with an average of 12.9 yards per touch. In Hines’s seasons he has had a total of 53 touch downs. Now after going to super bowl forty and being the MVP, there are good things to expect out of him returning in the 2006 season.

 

 Heath Miller

Heath Miller, the rookie tight end in the 2005 season for the Steelers, heath came out of the University of Virginia with a big reputation. Being a first round draft pick by the Steelers Heath had a great rookie season. Having scored eight touch downs as a rookie, heath almost set a record. Now already into his second season, heath has a total of 560 yards and 7 touch downs. Hopefully this season will be lucky for Heath and the Steelers.

 

 

Cedric Wilson

Cedric Wilson picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent in 2005 he has been a huge help to the Steelers offence. In Cedricks first season as a steeler he had a total of 26 receptions with 451 yards.  Even though Cedrick did not get any touch downs in the 2005 season for the Steelers he still was a big factor in getting deep yardage which helped them get to the super bowl and win. Cedrick should have a great season this year.

 

Troy Polamalu

Troy Polamalu, one of the most feared safeties in the NFL. At five foot, ten inches and 212 pounds this small safety may not look like much but when he flies into the backfield of the offense he wreaks havoc. Troy Polamalu was drafted by the Steelers in round one of the draft coming out of the University of South California. Troy is now in his fourth season with the Steelers. In those four seasons troy has made 174 tackles, 6 sacks, 8 interceptions, 4 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and 1 touch down. Troy has a total of 178 yards all together. That makes troy one of the biggest threats to opponents and one of the biggest helps to the Steelers. 

 

Joey Porter

Joey porter, named the most fear player in the NFL by Sports Illustrated. Joey was drafted by the Steelers in 1999 coming from Colorado State University. Since 1999 Joey has become an expert at the line backer position. In joeys career he has made an astounding 296 tackles with an amazing 55 sacks. Also Joey has 18 forced fumbles with 8 recoveries, and 88 yards. Joey also has 9 interceptions with 207 Yards. That makes Joey one of the best linebackers the Steelers have ever had. And with that I think that Joey will have a great season leading the Steelers to another super bowl victory.
