I’m attempting to revive a short series of posts prior to the regular season getting underway in which I take a look back at a few Pittsburgh Steelers players who were the last ones to wear certain uniform numbers before another player wore it and made it famous.
I’m returning to this series on this Sunday with a look back at the last Steelers player who wore No. 59 before Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham wore it and made it famous.
In March of 1967, the Steelers drafted linebacker Ray May out of USC in the fourth-round and with the 89th overall selection.
