This man is from an era of no Instagram, no TickTok,, no “‘Me! Me! Me!,’ I’m above the team;” and no other individual goal - but to contribute and win. He, and his teammates, were professionals that exhibited how to win with pride and poise. That’s why no one, NO ONE, has worn his jersey since he retired! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!! HOFer - Jack Ham #59
Damn Moats….Larry Brown now Jack Ham. Man this is too much for one week. My childhood heroes were all on this team. Thank you for allowing some of their stories to be told uninterrupted and in totality. These stories are all like gold!
That defense is, to this day, the greatest there ever was. They literally had to change the league rules because this man and his teammates were constantly destroying opposing offenses. Funny thing is, they adapted to the changes and got even more dominant.
What a class act! Truly a legend. I am grateful that I grew up during the hey days of Steelers. Also got to meet Jack Ham and his wife....wonderful people.
Legendary 🖤💛. Givem ALL they’re flowers while they’re here. Legendary franchise, legendary humans that help build up the Standard we see today. Thankyou Moats. 🙏
I met Jack Ham in the 80s through a mutual friend and I can't say enough about what a great experience it was. He took so much time talking to and learning about me with genuine interest and kindness, and he was the superstar. He is definitely a superstar human! Glad to see him here again!
Moats I truly hope you appreciate how fortunate you are to get to interview such true legendary players! My childhood heroes! I could never interview them. I get too emotional just watching your interviews with them! Jack friggin Ham, man!!! Just listening to his voice brings back so many great memories! Ive got goosebumps!! I wish I could give this 1000 likes!
Jackhammer!!! How the hell did I miss this?! Glad i found it! Mr Hamm was elite at the basics and from what I've been told the best linebacker out of that 70's group . What a legend 💯
The hammer the 2nd greatest outside linebacker of all time only to Lawrence Taylor in my opinion, the numbers don't lie, he was unbelievable as a coverage linebacker.
Everyone talking about jack ham lovely man I already knew that but that man in front of the camera seeing he was in front of it and moving out of the way is a straight goat amongst men
Jack Ham #59 of the Pittsburgh Steelers Career Accomplishments Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-82) 8x Pro Bowl selection 6x All-Pro selection 1975 Defensive Player of the Year (Pro Football Writers Association) 4x Super Bowl Champion 25 sacks 21 fumble recoveries 32 interceptions 53 combined takeaways are the most ever by a non-defensive back Pro Football Hall of Fame selection
the story he told around 14:30 is the opposite of what we're seeing now. Our d-line is dominant when healthy, but they aren't right now, and Bush, Spillane and Shobert are struggling because of it. Jack literally admitted he was so good because the guys in front of him were even better. Wait till Devin Bush has that, he will be back to true form. Trust.
Inexplicable that Penn St was the ONLY full scholarship Jack Ham received for college. He’s STILL perhaps THE MOST FUNDAMENTALLY PERFECT professional athlete I’ve ever seen in ANY sport! That includes Mark Belanger (defense only), Mia Hamm, Tom Brady (as much as I hate to admit it), Roger Federer, Oscar Robertson, Lionel Messi, Joe Jacoby, Ken Griffey Jr, and Annika Sorenstam. I challenge anyone to watch HOURS of film of Jack Ham, and try to identify ANY professional athlete with a better “fundamental” skill set. From his lateral run coverage to his tackling technique to his drop-back pass coverage to his instinctive positioning and “sixth sense” ability, Jack Ham was generally poetry in motion! Period!
