Where Are They Now? Kimo von Oelhoffen

Perhaps one of the most underrated players to don the black and gold jersey in recent memory, defensive end Kimo von Oelhoffen had a reputation similar to that of fellow end, Aaron Smith, in that he was a no-nonsense, lunch pail type of player that symbolizes the Pittsburgh brand of football. He’s often remembered for the devastating hit he inadvertently put on the knee of Bengals’ quarterback Carson Palmer, but to most fans, his play didn’t go unnoticed, as he helped anchor one of the stingiest run defenses in the league along with Smith and Casey Hampton.
