Best draft class ever, for steelers, and the NFL. Think of it. 4 of them won 4 Superbowls, and also went to Canton. Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, and, Jack Lambert.
Fugg numbers and stats. I would pick the tandem of Swann and Stallworth as starters on any all-time team. Rice and Moss, Terrell and Chris Carter can come off the bench.
I was 8 years old in 1978 we went to Ohio to visit my grandma and my uncle gave me one of his posters he had taped to his wall in his room , he told me I have any one I wanted, I chose a Lynn Swann poster , in this poster he made one of his legendary high flying catches but the way the poster was designed you could only see Swann in the air about to catch the ball and to a 8 year old boy he looked like a super hero which made me fall in love with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I looked up to my uncle & he was a die hard Steelers fan which I became immediately and it pissed off my dad because I'm from Chicago
Great story! I to was 8 that year. Hard home life so i needed heroes to look up to. Swann and his teammates were that for me when i desperately needed it. They were someone who could be counted on
