One Hit Wonders: Steve Avery’s Lone Trip To Paydirt

Welcome to a new series we’ll sprinkle in throughout the offseason. Writing about Dallas Baker’s lone career catch recently got me to thinking about others in that “solo” club. Players who did one thing only one time in their entire career. One rush, one pass, one interception, one touchdown, you get the idea. Truly, a blip on the radar but Steelers nonetheless and literally, a “one” hit wonder.

This one comes via reader request, courtesy of Tim Collins, who wanted us to revive Steve Avery’s name. Avery did a little more than the other names we’ve discussed on this list, a whopping three career carries and 12 receptions, but only once did he sniff the end zone.
