Ain’t Easy Blocking Greene (Or Watt): ESPN Names Two Steelers ‘Best Pass Rusher’ By Year

Throughout the illustrious history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, elite pass rushers dot the timeline for the Black and Gold.

From Mean Joe Greene and L.C. Greenwood in the 1970s to Mike Merriweather in the ’80s, all the way until now with the likes of T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, the Steelers have always identified with pass rushers being the focal point of the defense.

Knowing that, it’s no surprise that in ESPN’s Pass Rusher Championship Belt story penned by Bill Barnwell Thursday, a pair of Steelers were awarded the Pass Rusher Championship Belt for a given year.
