Every NFL Team's Most Important Draft Pick Ever


Recommended Posts

Quote

Pittsburgh Steelers

Joe Greene, fourth overall, 1969 

The Steelers' dynasty began with Greene, who led the Steelers from perennial losers to the NFL's most successful franchise since the AFL-NFL merger. With Greene leading the way, the Steelers won four Super Bowls in a six-year span from 1974-79, as Greene earned 11 consecutive Pro Bowl selections over that span. Greene, the leader of Pittsburgh's vaunted Steel Curtain defense, was also named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1972 and in 1974. Greene, whose  No. 75 was retired by the Steelers in 2014, later won two more Super Bowls as a member of the team's scouting department in 2005 and in 2008. Greene also helped develop the intensity and culture that still exists within the Steelers' organization, a physical, blue collar culture that has won the affection of one of the biggest fan bases in sports.
