The Pittsburgh Steelers is another one of those franchises that continues to breed some of the greatest NFL talent known to man. From Rod Woodson to Terry Bradshaw to Jack Lambert, and Jerome Bettis, the list of Steeler greats flows for what seems like an eternity. But, there will never be another NFL defensive tackle like 'Mean' Joe Greene. Greene would erupt through an offensive line a time bomb hurling his body relentlessly at any quarterback or running back in his path. We have to imagine it wasn't too fun being on the other side of the ball from him.
After closing out his All-American collegiate football career at Northern Texas State University, Joe Greene was selected 4th overall in the 1969 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers were he would play his entire career. Greene became an immediate impact player winning Rookie of the Year in 1969. The 6'4 defensive tackle would also become the centerpiece to the Steelers' patented 'Steel Curtain' defense that helped solidify four NFL Super Bowl Championships (Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, XIV) for the Steelers. With ten Pro Bowl nods, five First-Team All-Pro roster slots, and two Defensive Player of the Year Awards, 'Mean' Joe Greene is regarded as one of the NFL's greatest talents to ever take the field.
