As an average Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’m compelled to compare players from different eras. Dave Bryan was kind enough to publish my original List of top 500 all-time Pittsburgh Steelers in January 2017. My last update came at the end of the 2024 NFL season: top 500 Steelers (2024 Edition).

This 10th edition of the top 500 all-time Pittsburgh Steelers incorporates on-the-field service, recognition and accomplishments of the 2025 Steelers. Former player rankings may move due to changes to Steelers’ all-time individual leaders in select categories, adjusted statistics in the Pro Football Reference (one of my main resources), or recognition for their play such as induction to the Steelers Hall of Honor or the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Second-team All-Pro honors factored into this edition.

Hines and James Left Out in the Cold – Again

The Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors snubbed Hines Ward and James Harrison again. For yet another year, neither received enough votes to be Hall of Fame finalists. Frankly, I believe local Pittsburgh journalists have done a poor job championing their cause. Both were the highest performers among their peers on the field. Ward’s accomplishments as a receiver deserve even more notice since he played in a run-first offense, unlike some of the other finalists at receiver. Harrison was the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He likely would have had a second had the NFL not changed the rules midseason to reduce hard contact. None of the other finalists had such an impact on the game that the league changed the rules.

And both excelled in postseason play. Hines Ward is a Super Bowl MVP. Harrison’s 100-yard pick-six is arguably the greatest play in Super Bowl history. It is that unique. Someday, I hope an effective campaign is waged to get both into the Hall. They are more deserving than many others going in before them.

L.C. Greenwood Snubbed Once More

For yet another year — and the first as a senior finalist — L.C. Greenwood was denied entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026. A key pillar of the Steel Curtain, he boasted six Pro Bowls, two First-Team All-Pro selections, 78 career sacks (unofficial) and four Super Bowl titles. He was also named to the NFL’s 1970s All-Decade Team. Yet, despite being one of the most accomplished defensive ends of his era, voters passed him over again. It’s frustrating that a player who helped define the greatest defense in NFL history remains on the outside looking in, especially when so many of his teammates are enshrined. Pittsburgh media and fans should rally harder for him. He’s more than deserving.

I’ll keep championing the causes of these three deserving candidates.

Mr. 500

This year, wide receiver John Burrell who played from 1962-64, is Mr. 500. The very last to make this all-time list. Previous Mr. 500’s includes Bob O’Neil, Richard Huntley, Ricardo Colclough, Dick Arndt, David Woodley, Pete Ladygo, Lou Tepe, Chris Carter and Charles Davenport.

T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward are the highest active players on the all-time list at numbers 12 and 17, respectively. Every player ranked ahead of Watt and Heyward is either already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame or the Steelers Hall of Honor. Aaron Rodgers makes the list with only one season played – a rarity. Running back Kenneth Gainwell misses the list despite teammates voting him the team MVP in 2025 in his first season as a Pittsburgh Steeler. He’s currently 528 and definitely breaking into the top 500 if the Steelers re-sign him for 2026.

Here are some details on these Steelers of yore:

Warren Heller

Warren Heller played college football at the University of Pittsburgh under legendary coach Jock Sutherland. A tough, pile-driving halfback rather than a speedster, he worked in the Steelton mills between semesters. A three-year starter (1930-32), he helped Pitt to a 22-4-3 record, leading the team in rushing each season. Standout moments included rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns in a 19-12 Thanksgiving win over Penn State in 1930 and scoring 11 touchdowns in 1931. He earned consensus All-American honors in 1932. Heller set early Pitt rushing records, including a career total of 1,949 yards — a program mark at the time. These stood until Marshall Goldberg edged him with 1,957 yards by 1938. Heller’s achievements were foundational in the pre-modern stats era, marking him as one of Pitt’s early greats.

Art Rooney offered him $150 per game to join the Pittsburgh Pirates (pre-Steelers) for their 1933 inaugural NFL season, but Heller declined for a high school coaching job in Johnstown. After one year, he resigned and signed with Pittsburgh in 1934. He played 36 games over three seasons (1934–36) as a halfback-tailback, contributing to the franchise’s tough early years before retiring after 1936 following a late loss that dashed championship hopes.

Heller returned to high school coaching and teaching, plus some semipro football. He coached at Deer Lakes, Oakmont, Johnstown and Smethport, retiring in 1972. He was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1970. He passed away in October 1982 at age 71 in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.

Lorenzo Freeman

Lorenzo Freeman was born in Philadelphia and raised in Camden, New Jersey, where he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School. He attended the University of Pittsburgh, playing mostly as a reserve defensive lineman until his senior year. A teammate of Ironhead Heyward (father of Steelers great Cam Heyward), Freeman appeared in 25 games at Pitt, recording 74 tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries.

Drafted in the fourth round (89th overall) by the Green Bay Packers in 1987, Freeman was injured during the strike-shortened preseason and released without playing a game. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed him after tight end Preston Gothard landed on injured reserve. He spent four of his five NFL seasons (1987-90) with Pittsburgh, appearing in 46 games (starting three) as a nose tackle/defensive tackle. He described the competition: “It’s always tough. Every year you have to prove yourself all over again.” His standout performance came in November 1990 against the Jets. He nearly blocked a quick punt (limiting it to 23 yards and setting up a game-tying touchdown), then strip-sacked Tony Eason to force a punt. A broken foot in a December practice sidelined him late that year. He failed to make the 1991 roster and finished his career with the New York Giants after they claimed him off waivers, playing one more season for a career total of 62 games and 2.5 sacks.

After retiring, Freeman worked for Sony for 14 years and DirecTV, later as a department supervisor at Polyconcept North America in New Kensington. He remained deeply involved in football, coaching high school teams including Plum (his last role), Valley, Sto-Rox, McKeesport, West Shamokin and Deer Lakes. As his sister Adrienne noted, “No matter where he worked, he always coached football.” Sadly, Freeman was found dead at home in New Kensington on Oct. 10, 2016 at age 52.

Marv Kellum

Marv Kellum was born in Lecompton, Kansas (near Topeka), on June 23, 1952. He played 8-man football in high school at Perry-Lecompton before attending Wichita State University. As a freshman in 1970, he joined the Shockers shortly after a tragic October plane crash killed 31 people, including 14 players, head coach Ben Wilson and others enroute to a game. It devastated the program and led to an NCAA waiver allowing freshmen to play varsity.

Undrafted in 1974 (same class as Jack Lambert), Kellum signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers and made the roster as a rookie linebacker/special teams player. He appeared in 42 games (1974-76), contributing mainly on special teams while backing up stars like Lambert, Ham and Russell. Key moments included an interception in his second career game (leading to a TD in a 35-35 tie with Denver) and recovering a fumbled kickoff on the second-half opening of Super Bowl IX (Jan. 12, 1975), setting up Franco Harris’s game-opening touchdown in Pittsburgh’s 16-6 win over Minnesota — part of two Super Bowl titles (IX and X). In the 1977 preseason, he started during Lambert’s holdout but was supplanted by rookie Dennis “Dirt” Winston. The Steelers traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals for their 1978 eighth-round pick (used on RB Rick Moser). Kellum played one final season in St. Louis (14 games, 4 starts) before retiring at 25 due to injuries. Many believed he could have started elsewhere.

He had recently bought a house in Pittsburgh when traded. Post-NFL, he returned there, took up carpentry, attended Steelers games/events as a former player and reflected, “You don’t realize how lucky you have it in one place until you leave.” He battled digestive cancer and multiple myeloma. Kellum passed away at home in Pittsburgh on Feb. 4, 2023 at age 70, surrounded by family.

Jason Simmons

Jason Simmons was born March 30, 1976 in Inglewood, California. A four-year letterman at Arizona State University, he earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors as a senior defensive back. He played quarterback in high school and some option QB snaps in his later ASU years before transitioning fully to DB.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the fifth round (137th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft — the same year they took Deshea Townsend in the fourth. Simmons played from 1998 to 2001 in Pittsburgh, primarily in dime packages and on special teams. He recorded 72 tackles, one fumble recovery and several key forced fumbles: one as a rookie leading to a field goal in a three-point win, a 2000 forced fumble on a Ravens kick return (recovered by Scott Shields, setting up Kris Brown’s game-winning FG in a 9-6 victory), and his fourth career forced fumble that punched the ball out at the 2-yard line, preventing a 32-yard TD and resulting in a touchback. He signed with the Houston Texans as a free agent in 2002, playing six more seasons (2002–07).

Post-retirement, Simmons began coaching with the Green Bay Packers in 2011, spending nine seasons in roles including defensive assistant, secondary coach, assistant special teams and defensive backs coach (2019), contributing to strong secondary performances (e.g., top five rankings in INTs, pass breakups, and fewest TDs allowed). He then served as defensive pass game coordinator and secondary coach for the Carolina Panthers (2020-21), Las Vegas Raiders (2022-23), and Washington Commanders (2024-25), where he dramatically improved the pass defense from 32nd to 3rd in opponent passing yards per game in 2024. Full circle, Simmons returned to Pittsburgh in 2026 as defensive pass game coordinator/defensive backs coach under new head coach Mike McCarthy, reuniting with his former Steelers roots and his Packers-era boss.

Derek Watt

Derek Watt, the middle brother of NFL stars J.J. and T.J. Watt, played college football at the University of Wisconsin alongside his younger brother T.J. A versatile athlete, he contributed as a running back, fullback and special teams player for the Badgers.

The San Diego Chargers selected him in the sixth round (198th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. Watt spent his first four seasons (2016-19) with the Chargers (later Los Angeles), appearing in 60 games with roles in the backfield, as a lead blocker and on special teams.

In 2020, he signed a three-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, reuniting with T.J. as teammates. He played primarily as a fullback and special teams ace, blocking a punt for a safety against the Denver Broncos in 2020. Watt appeared in all 17 games in both 2021 (starting four at fullback) and 2022 (starting three), including a highlight touchdown reception from Chase Claypool against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. He was not re-signed after the 2022 season, as head coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Matt Canada phased out the fullback position in their scheme. Watt went unsigned in 2023 and retired from the NFL at age 31 on March 12, 2024.

Since retiring, Derek has prioritized family life in the Pittsburgh area with his wife Gabriella and their three children (Logan, Brayden and Isabella). He has leveraged his platform for brand partnerships and content creation, appearing in commercials (including for Dick’s Sporting Goods) and engaging in family-oriented activities, such as reviewing kid-friendly games and products together. He remains connected to football through his brothers and occasional public appearances, but has no announced coaching or broadcasting roles.

Chris Gardocki

Chris Gardocki was born Feb. 7, 1970 in Stone Mountain, Georgia. He excelled in high school as quarterback, kicker and punter, earning a spot on the 1987 Parade All-American team as a kicker. At Clemson University, he handled both placekicking and punting, finishing in the NCAA top five in both categories twice during his career.

The Chicago Bears selected him in the third round (79th overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft. He punted for the Bears (1991-94), Indianapolis Colts (1995-98), Cleveland Browns (1999–2003), and Pittsburgh Steelers (2004-06) over a 16-year career. Gardocki posted a career-best 45.7-yard average in 1996 with the Colts, earning Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors. He holds the NFL record for most consecutive punts without a block (1,177 over his entire career). A notable incident occurred in Cleveland when Steelers LB Joey Porter hit him after a punt. No flag was thrown, but Gardocki was fined for flipping off coach Bill Cowher on the sideline. Porter called it a block, while the Browns labeled it a cheap shot.

Cowher recruited him, and Pittsburgh signed Gardocki on March 10, 2004 to replace Josh Miller. Familiar with new OC Ken Whisenhunt and special teams coach Kevin Spencer from Cleveland, he maintained his no-block streak (with close calls, like punt 1,067 batted down by Jacksonville’s Rashean Mathis in 2005 but advancing nine yards). In Super Bowl XL (2006), he averaged 48.7 yards on six punts against Seattle. The Steelers released him May 23, 2007 after drafting Daniel Sepulveda in Mike Tomlin’s first draft class. Gardocki quipped, “Everybody’s replaceable in the NFL.” He ranks 10th in Steelers history with 199 punts and a 42.1-yard average.

Since retiring, Gardocki has dealt with health challenges, including two hip replacements and other physical issues from his playing days. He has remained low-profile in retirement, living in the Hilton Head Island/Bluffton area of South Carolina (a longtime resident there). He has given interviews reflecting on his career. He supports youth causes, serving as a donor and volunteering for the Boys & Girls Club. No coaching or broadcasting roles are reported; he enjoys post-NFL life with his family.

Ross Cockrell

Ross Cockrell excelled in both track and football in high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, earning three-star recruit status. He attended Duke University, where he became a standout cornerback and made the All-ACC team as a junior.

The Buffalo Bills selected him in the fourth round (109th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. After playing sparingly in seven games as a rookie, Buffalo released him at the end of the 2014 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed him just before the 2015 campaign. Cockrell thrived in Pittsburgh, starting 23 of 31 games over two seasons (2015–16), recording 106 tackles, two interceptions and providing reliable coverage in the secondary.

After the Steelers signed veteran Joe Haden (released by the Browns) prior to 2017, they traded Cockrell to the New York Giants. He continued his career with the Giants (2017), Carolina Panthers (2018-19), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-21), where he contributed to their Super Bowl LV championship run in 2020-21 (playing in all four playoff games). Tampa Bay released him on August 16, 2022 after re-signing the prior year. Cockrell last played in 2021 and has since transitioned out of the NFL without a formal retirement announcement.

Post-NFL, Cockrell has focused on community leadership and faith-based work. He relocated to Louisiana and is actively involved with Holy Family Catholic School, where he supports educational and youth initiatives — described by locals as “doing good things for a local school.” He has shared insights on post-football life in interviews, emphasizing perseverance, family and faith during his transition. Cockrell remains connected to his athletic roots (his sister Anna is an Olympic hurdler), and he occasionally appears at events showcasing his Super Bowl ring.

Warren Bankston

Warren Bankston was born July 22, 1947 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A four-sport letterman (football, baseball, track, basketball) at Hammond High School in Louisiana, he quarterbacked the Tornadoes and was elected to the National Honor Society before graduating in 1965. At Tulane University, Bankston played quarterback, tight end and running back for the Green Wave. Initially as a QB, he transitioned to running back, leading the team in rushing one season despite limited games his junior year. He became an All-American candidate and earned recognition for his versatility.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the second round (42nd overall) of the 1969 NFL Draft as a 6-4 running back — Chuck Noll’s third pick after Joe Greene and Terry Hanratty (also second round). One of 11 rookies Noll retained on his first 40-man roster, Bankston played fullback from 1969-72. In his NFL debut, he started and scored the game-winning touchdown in a 16-13 victory over Detroit — the Steelers’ lone win that season. He landed on injured reserve twice in four years and struggled with ball security (multiple fumbles noted). In 1973 preseason, Noll converted him to tight end to boost versatility, exploiting his blocking and backfield receiving potential. However, Larry Brown’s emergence at TE and Rocky Bleier’s reliability alongside Franco Harris led to his trade to the Oakland Raiders at the start of the 1973 season.

With the Raiders (1973-78), Bankston played six seasons as a blocking tight end/special teams contributor, appearing in 75 games (one start), catching 7 passes for 94 yards and 2 TDs. He served as team captain in 1976, correctly calling the coin flip for nearly every game enroute to Super Bowl XI (1977), where Oakland defeated the Vikings for his ring. He retired after 1978 Post-NFL; Bankston returned to Louisiana to be near his mother and two brothers. He has lived a low-profile life there, occasionally reflecting on his career in interviews (e.g., with Steelers Takeaways in 2020-21). He was inducted into the Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame in 1997 for his Tulane and NFL achievements. As of 2026, at age 78, he remains alive and resides in Louisiana, with no major public roles reported beyond enjoying retirement and family.

Sid Watson

Sid Watson played football and ice hockey at Northeastern University, where he averaged over 100 rushing yards per game and 7.1 yards per carry. The Huskies went undefeated in 1951, and Watson captained the team in 1954. Undrafted in the 30-round 1955 NFL Draft, the 5-8, 180-pound halfback signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not expecting to make the roster due to his small size, his speed and toughness quickly impressed veterans like Elbie Nickel and Jim Finks.

Watson played halfback for Pittsburgh from 1955-57. In a 31-28 loss, he was knocked out on the final play. He believed he crossed the goal line, but officials spotted the ball three inches short — no instant replay existed then, though film the next day suggested a touchdown. As a rookie, he led the NFL with 27 kick returns for 716 yards (26.5-yard average). In 1956, he started seven games for the injured Lynn Chandnois, finishing second on the team in rushing behind Fran Rogel and scoring two touchdowns in a 17-14 loss to the first-place Giants. He played one final season (1958) with the Washington Redskins, starting his last game against Pittsburgh in a 14-14 tie.

Three weeks after his final NFL game, Watson was named head ice hockey coach at Bowdoin College, a position he held until 1983. He guided the Polar Bears to 16 conference playoff appearances and ECAC titles in 1971, 1975, 1976 and 1978. He earned the Eddie Jeremiah Memorial Trophy as national Small College Coach of the Year in 1970, 1971 and 1978. He later served as Athletic Director until retiring in 1999. Watson was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999. He passed away after a myocardial infarction in Naples, Florida on April 25, 2004 at age 71.

Mark Royals

Mark Royals was born June 22, 1965 in Hampton, Virginia (raised in Mathews, Virginia), where he attended Mathews High School and excelled in football (punting, kicking off, multiple positions) and baseball. He began college at Chowan University (then a junior college), playing punter for two seasons (1981-82) and earning All-American honors before transferring to Appalachian State University. At App State, he set multiple school punting records, establishing himself as a reliable directional punter.

Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys in 1986, Royals was released before the season without playing. He bounced around several teams (including stints with the Eagles and Cardinals) before breaking through with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1990. The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired him as a Plan B free agent from Tampa Bay prior to 1992. He punted for Pittsburgh from 1992-94 (three seasons), appearing in all 48 games.

In 1994, Royals set Steelers single-season records with 97 punts and 3,849 punting yards (39.7 average), while leading the NFL with 35 punts inside the 20-yard line (tying an NFL mark). He once downed eight punts inside the 20 in a single game and minimized touchbacks, helping transform Pittsburgh’s punt coverage from league-worst in 1993 (three return TDs allowed) to second-best in 1994 (4.7 yards per return). In a tight 6-3 win over Houston, he placed 8 of 11 punts behind the 20. A low point came in the 1994 AFC Wild Card loss to Kansas City. A blocked punt with three minutes left set up a tying score and overtime win. Coach Bill Cowher berated him on the sideline but later apologized, as a missed block assignment was to blame. Royals’ average dipped as he punted out of bounds for field position amid coverage struggles. He said, “I’ll let the people talk … I have to do whatever they ask me to do.”

He left Pittsburgh in free agency before 1995, playing until 2003 with the Lions, Saints, Bucs (again), Dolphins and Jaguars for a 15-year career (224 games, 1,116 punts, 42.1 average, 275 inside the 20). Post-NFL, Royals became a color commentator for Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm on Spectrum Sports Florida and co-hosted sports radio shows. He co-founded OnMed (a medical-related venture) and has done local TV/radio spots in Tampa. He gives motivational speeches across Florida, supports the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and is active with Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Boys & Girls Clubs. He resides in Tampa with his wife Kimberly and daughters Alexandra and Katie, also running a part-time real estate investment firm.

Damontae Kazee

Damontae Kazee played college football at San Diego State University, where he started 41 of 54 games at cornerback over four seasons (2013-16). He earned second-team All-Mountain West honors as a senior after recording 60 tackles, three interceptions and nine pass breakups.

The Atlanta Falcons selected him in the fifth round (173rd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. Kazee started 34 of 52 games played on his rookie contract (2017-20), transitioning to safety. In 2018, his seven interceptions tied for the NFL lead, earning him Pro Football Focus acclaim as a ball-hawking playmaker. An Achilles tendon injury in 2020 limited him to four games.

Coming off from injury, he signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys in 2021, starting 15 of 17 games and showing solid recovery with 68 tackles and one interception. In 2022, Kazee joined the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year contract but suffered a broken forearm in preseason practice. He returned to play nine games that season. Pittsburgh extended him for two more years (2023-24). His best year came in 2023, when injuries at safety increased his snaps; he recorded 64 tackles, three interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Over three seasons with Pittsburgh, he totaled five interceptions, two fumble recoveries and 112 tackles. He faced two suspensions: one in 2022 for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy while rehabbing, and another in late 2023 for a helmet-to-helmet hit.

In 2025, Kazee signed with the Cleveland Browns but was released after four games (forfeiting $200,000 in salary) to seek more playing time. The Detroit Lions added him to their practice squad late in the season, but he did not appear in any games. He remains a free agent as of early 2026, and at age 31, appears poised to transition from football to his next chapter.

Bob Adams

Bob Adams quit football in his senior year of high school but was encouraged by a coach at the College of San Mateo to give it another try. He played two seasons at the University of the Pacific, earning team captain honors as a tight end.

An undrafted free agent, Adams made Chuck Noll’s first Pittsburgh Steelers roster in 1970. He appeared in 42 games over three seasons (1970-72), starting 17 — including all 14 in 1971. A sprained knee in 1972 training camp further hampered his career. He caught a 50-yard pass from Terry Bradshaw on the first play of a preseason game against the Jets. With Larry Brown and John McMakin leapfrogging ahead on the depth chart, he was relegated to the taxi squad with a knee injury in 1972 and not activated once healthy. Adams praised Bradshaw: “Seeing him play is like watching a rose bloom in slow motion.” After the Steelers’ first playoff win (before it became known as the Immaculate Reception), he told reporters, “Do you have type big enough to report a miracle? A miracle, that’s what it was.” Receiver coach Lionel Taylor called Adams the NFL’s best blocking tight end. Offseason, he, and Preston Pearson taught classes for underprivileged children on Pittsburgh’s North Side.

Noll traded Adams to the New England Patriots in 1973 for a seventh-round pick in the 1974 draft. He played two seasons with New England (1973-74), then finished his NFL career with the Denver Broncos in 1975 and Atlanta Falcons in 1976. In 1973, Adams joined the Church of Scientology, later becoming one of its prominent spokesmen and advocates. He has remained active in the organization for decades, occasionally appearing in promotional materials and events.

Bob O’Neil

Robert “Huck” O’Neil was born in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, a local product who first played college football at Duquesne University (1949-50). When the Dukes suspended their program, he transferred to Notre Dame (1951-52), starring as a defensive end. He earned recognition on Rowland’s All-American team of Pennsylvanians for his play.

The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted O’Neil in the 15th round of the 1953 NFL Draft. Military service delayed his pro career, explaining the late-round selection. While stationed in France, he played rugby. He signed with Pittsburgh in March 1956 after completing service. Midway through his rookie year, the Walt Kiesling converted him from defensive end to offensive guard. He started at guard in 1957 preseason under coach Walt Kiesling, but Kiesling resigned due to illness, and Buddy Parker took over. Parker shifted O’Neil back to defense just before the season. O’Neil started 22 of 24 games played for the Steelers (1956-57), showing versatility on both lines.

After 1957, O’Neil was lured to the Canadian Football League by Calgary Stampeders GM Jim Finks (a former Steeler), who said O’Neil didn’t fit Parker’s plans. Parker would cut 17, nearly half the 1957 roster including Jack Kemp. O’Neil played for Calgary from 1958-60, then joined the Montreal Alouettes in 1961. That same year, he returned stateside to play for the New York Titans (later Jets) in the American Football League. O’Neil passed away in 2012.

Eight of the 13 ascending players were on the Steelers 2025 roster, including three offensive linemen. Pittsburgh acquired six through the NFL draft and signed two as free agents. Aaron Rodgers makes the list after just one season with the Steelers. He joins Byron “Whizzer” White and Milt Simington, who is back on list as the only players on the Steelers Top 500 with just one season of play.

CONCLUSION

Thirty players appeared in a regular season game in Steelers uniforms for the first time in 2025. There are now 1,694 players who have worn the Black and Gold in at least one regular season game since the team entered the league in 1933.

Some rankings, such as long snapper Christian Kuntz ahead of Joey Porter Jr., will correct over time. Players advance and fall at varied rates each season.

Many of you may dispute where I rank different players. That’s okay with me. I use a matrix, so once the numbers crunch, players end up where they do. I wish some of my favorite players ranked higher. Conversely, there are some jagoffs that I wish came in lower on the rankings. It is what it is. Here we go.

The full list of Top 500 Steelers is just below your music selection.

YOUR MUSIC SELECTION

I always like to include some music. This series is an effort to show off the best of the Pittsburgh Steelers and to generate memories of some who wore Black and Gold years ago. I’m sure some of your favorites are on here. Who do you love? Here is Who Do You Love performed by Bo Diddley.
