Steeler Ringless of Honor

Who was the greatest Steeler to NOT win a Super Bowl?

As Steeler fans, we are a blessed fan base. I’d say it was an embarrassment of riches but we’re not embarrassed. In terms of our success, we are the Yankees, Manchester United, the Lakers or Celtics of Football. The 49ers and Cowboys are rivals – but still not in our class. Black and gold fleece blankets the globe. We are a Nation of nations. Sadly, we have crossed over from beloved to hated. Other fan bases have formed an axes of allies to thwart our dynastic superiority. But it’s still so good to be us.

Throughout our supremacy we have always cataloged the greatest players in our franchise. Most often, their greatness is forged in the big game… their tallest tales displayed on the biggest night for the ultimate prize. Our boys rank among the all-time greats simply because of the rings they’ve collected. I feel bad for the franchises that have never won or those with distant memories of prominence. They boast of their greatest players but disappointment, discouragement, and sadness always fill the air.

What if we never won? Who would be our greatest? Who is in the Steelers Ringless of Honor?
