Ranking The Top 10 Linebackers In Steelers History

[slashsteel]

I didn't even consider anyone not on the list, but I agree. Russell gets overshadowed by Lambert/Ham and Kirkland was just special because of how he was able to play at his size. He wasn't here long, but from a pure talent POV, Chad Brown is another good option. While on this topic, Woodley had potential to be one of the team's all-time greats and Kendrell Bell may have been the best one-hit wonder in team history.

Short lived but Bell's burst was special. Not sure there was anyone at the time that didn't think he was a star in the making.

Couple of other very good LBs that could be included were the underrated David Little and the very good Dirt Winston.

there is a fair argument by those who watched that Ham might have been better than Lambert, but Lambert got lots of press because of his spirt and grimmace - LOL. Stack 'em how you want, those are the two best and mighta just put them both at 1.

As to Lambert being the Steel Curtain - I have always given that honor to someone else.

Agree. Lambert was the face of the franchise for a while but as a player I'd say Ham was slightly better.
