The Pittsburgh Steelers have a superb case for having the richest history of offensive line play at the center position in the history of the National Football League. It helps that they have two centers enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, with a possible third at some point on later down the road in Maurkice Pouncey. You can throw in names like Ray Mansfield and Jeff Hartings as well, for that matter.
But when you talk about football excellence at center, two of the names that you’re immediately drawn to are Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson, and, remarkably, they started on the same offensive line together during the 1988 season—though, shockingly, not simultaneously at center.
