Timmons birthday isn't until May..... I will admit I spent some time googling and came up with nada.

Well it sure wasn't from the draft class that year. We think our guru's in the war room suck now, look at this mess in '85.

Holy crap, 4 DBs, 3 LBs, 2 TEs, and a Punter. Dark times indeed.

And they all sucked big time 'cept the punter...LOL

The first round pick played 4 years and done, second round pick played one year, the third rounder didn't even make the team.

 

[Idioteque]

Spent 5 mins Googling and still no clue. Fill us in dammitt.

 

[Troglodyte]

I remember ditching school and watching that draft on TV. I think Carr was an OK reserve LBer and special teamer. I think Turk was a LS.

School on Saturday?

 

[Idioteque]

Just realized we drafted Brent Jones the following year. He'd have been nice to hang onto.

 

[STEELERS R GR8]

Lynn Swann caught 4 passes for 161 and a SB MVP???????

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Tom donahoe came to work for either Blesto or the steelers in some capacity that year.. I Believe he went to work for the steelers that spring after the draft.

 

[scraps]

Not sure if perhaps you meant "39" years ago today? On Jan 18th 1976, the Steelers beat the Cowboys in Superbowl X in their first of two consecutive win SBs.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Gareth DID make this post at 4:29 AM eastern time.. so there's that.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Maybe he is talking about THIS legacy?

Liffort Hobley, one of my all-time favorite picks. 3rd rounder, cut in camp. And you guys hate Dri Archer.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

no wonder we were getting our butts kicked by Cleveland in the 80's

 

[steelermania]

That would still not have been the beginning of anything.

 

[Big Ben Rules]

wow, wonder who made those draft picks? and pretty much all the other ****** picks in the 80's.

That's what I meant.....lol!

I think this is the date I lost my virginity . . .

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Drink IRON City again.

I don't think he has woken up yet. 2 steaks and 19 beers do funny things to a 42 year old.
