I’m not always keen on the AI element for cards, but I can absolutely make an exception for this one. This one is done right. The Chief, Mr. Art Rooney comes to life on his first card! #HereWeGo

There are no lineman to feature on either side in 1970, so we’re moving straight to linebackers. And we’re looking at a truly under-appreciated career in NFL history today. Some of his best years came outside Pittsburgh, but his career is worth celebrating. Today we feature,

The next linebacker is an extremely brief NFL career, but his long-standing CFL career netted him some items to collect. Today we feature, Carl Crennel! Crennel only last briefly in the NFL, playing 3 games for Pittsburgh in 1970. However, his pro career was only starting. The

This was actually the first Steelers game I attended. My parents bought the tickets long before we knew Ben would start. We got to see Big Ben’s first ever home start and Troy’s first career TD. The other fun fact is that I wore a Duce Staley jersey. Wild. #HereWeGo

We have one final linebacker to discuss for our 1970 debuts. He helped solidify the second level but left just before the Super Bowl runs in Pittsburgh. Today we feature, Henry Davis! Davis spent his first two seasons with the Giants before coming to Pittsburgh. Although he

We’ve got a good little list of DBs that will close out our 1970 debuts. We start with a short lived Steeler but one who gets a great team issued card! Today we feature, Ocie Austin! Austin began his NFL career with the Colts in 1968 and 1969. While there, he would win an NFL
