Best No. 34 in Steelers history: LB Andy Russell
Another countdown to kickoff brings us to an all-time great linebacker in Steelers' history: Andy Russell.
Russell, selected by Pittsburgh with the 220th overall pick in the 16th round of the 1963 NFL Draft, was a ten-time team captain and part of arguably the greatest linebacker trio in NFL history. Russell played in 168 games for Pittsburgh and never missed a contest due to injury.
During his time with the Steelers, Russell won two Super Bowls with the legendary Steel Curtain defense, as well as earning seven Pro Bowl nominations, one First-Team All-Pro selection, and two Second-Team All-Pro selections before retiring in 1976.
Russell was also named to the Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team and the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor, a truly remarkable legacy that deserves to be recognized as the greatest Steeler to ever wear No. 34.
