Brett Keisel: Fear the Beard | NFL Films Presents 

My mom met Brett Keisel and she said he was the nicest guy she’s ever met. Plus he was a monster on the field. What more can you ask of a football player!

Ryan Fitzpatrick: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

Met Brett twice. Great guy. Mean game, great personality and awesome beard.

Old school hard working lunch box kind of guy. Great football player who deserves everything he's accomplished.

He made Belichek smile, this man is a monster & legend.

LOVE that he's getting some love from the NFL. He will forever be a beloved man in Pittsburgh!

Thank You NFl Films for all the great stories over the years

Part of a great front with Casey Hampton and Aaron Smith

that kind of tough, productive player the steelers used to have all over the roster

Maaaaaan, I grew up south of where he went to school. Schools only missed playing by 1 division rank. Such a pleasure to know a man from my home state played for my Steelers.

Hey Brett a strike indicator is just a fancy way of sayin bobber 😂😂. You and 92 always been my favorite.

Great to see the Mountain Man get some attention outside the 'burgh

Underrated

maaaan I love those stories

Coming up as a young Steelers Fan Brett was my fav over all the big name's Brett just was my guy.

Great story! Thanks to NFL films 🎥........

I love how every team in the early 00s NFL had a whole squad of superstar athelete black dudes, guys who are 6'6" and break land speed records, drive Bentleys and wear 2 pounds of gold chains... just the most athletic, acrobatic, fastest and well-developed athletes in the sport... ....but then there was Pittsburgh who were known for having 3 cornfed, big doughy country-boy white dudes who go fishing and hunting, and wouldn't look out of place on the back of a hay baling trailer throwing hay to the cows. (Big Ben, Heath Miller, and Brett Keisel) That's just so perfect for a city like Pittsburgh. (dont get me wrong, we had our superstar athletes as well, Polamalu, Holmes, Harrison, Taylor, Ward, Clark, etc... but it's just funny that for a blue collar steel town, just 60 mins drive from coal country West Virginia, you have these three corn-fed white boys with giant beards running the team.) 🤣🤣 The Steelers 2000-2010 era defense were my favorite players to watch of all time. Between James Harrison, Troy Polamalu, and Brett "the Beard" Keisel, I dont think you could have put together a more entertaining, hard hitting, turnover forcing, and pivotal defense if you tried. I will forever admire and adore those three dudes. Heck, Polamalu's already enshrined in Canton! Love that guy. (and that's not even mentioning guys like Ike Taylor, Deshea Townsend, Woodley, Hampton, Aaorn Smith, McFadden,...just a whole defensive core of superstars... I miss that era)

He also a great guitar maker and manufacturer

As a Steelers fan, he's in my top 10 Favorite Steelers of All-Time!

loved watching those steelers defenses hunt

Hells yeah!!!

He’s a goat in my book got bill b to smile

This man was heyward before him. Loved this man he was staple with Arron smith and BIG BOY Casey Hampton.

That’s thing about Steelers when you get drafted you gotta play special teams first

The interactions with brady was funny as hell and just cool to see

Keisel the diesel

I have so many Fear Da Beard items. Brett is really the nicest guy, so it's not hard to wanna wear his swag.

You know alllll those ladies were not happy about the clean look after that glorious beard

Legendary beard!!

I’m related to him he’s so cool

Give me a defensive line with keisel and Kyle Williams and I'd be a happy coach.

Ok, but why is no one talking about that 10 lb rainbow trout?

W beard coming from a Ravens fan

Cmon NFL Films! What happened to "Turning Point" with David Robidoux music?

He’s like Ben Roethlisberger‘s twin

FEAR THE BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He gave me his towel after the steelers played basketball against our teachers. Nice guy who drove a small pick up after the rest of the steelers showed up in hummers. He dunked on one of my teachers I couldn't stand too!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE STEELERS

James Harrison

*With great beard comes great responsibility* ... and lots of crumbs.

GO STEELERS!!!!

Bill Belichek didnt wanna laugh even though he wanted to laugh

He doesn't look the same without the beard

Belly had no idea who he was.

2 months beards is crazy
