ESPN Names Steelers Legend Mike Webster NFL’s “GOAT” At Center Position

In a career that spanned 17 seasons in the trenches, few centers — if any — in the history of the NFL can come close to touching the accomplishments and overall impact that Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Webster had from 1974-90.

Webster, a fifth-round pick out of Wisconsin in 1974, went on to start in 217 career games with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs, playing in 245 total from 1974-90. In that 17-year stretch, Webster was a monumental figure in four Super Bowl championships for the Steelers, earning six First Team All-Pro accolades, two Second Team All-Pro accolades, and nine trips to the Pro Bowl.
