Name That Former Steelers Player

by Michael Bean on Mar 9, 2009 2:28 AM EDT

Just a fun little exercise on a Monday in March. Name the former Steelers players in the photos below. No cheating! As in, no going to double check anywhere else on the internet. You either know, or you don't, so give all a chance to guess. And if you're so inclined, find some photos yourself and leave them in the comments section for us to enjoy.

Sorry Blitz but I’m sure I won’t be the first to notice this, but all you need to do is slide the cursor over the 1st, 2nd, and 4th pictures and it says who they are.

Too bad too because I knew that was Mel Blount in the cowboy hat.

As far as the third picture, my guess is that is John Banaszak in the collared shirt. No idea who is in the last picture.

The 2nd pic is definitely Mel Blount and Dermontii Dawson.

Not sure about the others.

I’m only used to seeing those guys in a helmet and pads.

I'd need jersey numbers and more to recognize any of them.

Even then, I’d still need Dr. google. I’m not one of those people that memorize every single face that’s ever been associated with Pittsburgh. :/

Pic 1 is a pretty obscure ex player. Although he was in the news recently. Hint hint.

The little guy...

… in the middle for the third picture: that’s Joey Porter.

I'll guess

And no I did not cheat if I get them right :-)

1 Brendan Stai (I think because of your clue Worldtrip)
2 Blount and Dawson
3 Wow, 3 is hard, let me come back to it
4 I’m going to say Ernie Mills
5 Dan Strysinski (sp?)

3…Jeez, I want to say they’ve got to be players about a decade apart because of the hair difference, but I don’t have a clue. I’ll just guess: left, Jay Reimersma and right, Tom Ricketts (lol)
