Nose tackle is the most thankless and least noticed positions on an NFL defense. The position is not one to put up flashy stats or get the attention unless something bad happens during a game. So it is not too surprising that many Pittsburgh Steelers fans know next to nothing about Greg Gilmore even though he spent four months with the team last offseason.
The nose tackle position eats up space on the line and tries to prevent their offensive counterparts from getting to the next level and wipe out the linebackers. The former LSU Tiger was tasked with that responsibility while taking on two or three linemen on any play.
