JEROME BETTIS TRADE ANNIVERSARY
19 years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a trade that changed the trajectory of their franchise during the 1996 NFL Draft. The team sent a second-round pick in ’96 and a future fourth-round selection to the St. Louis Rams for RB Jerome Bettis and a third-round pick in ’96. Bettis went on to become one of the best running backs in team history, running for 10,571 yards and 78 touchdowns while making two All-Pro teams and four Pro Bowls with the Steelers.
