The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been built on the strength of their defense, and one man helped return the unit to glory in Dick LeBeau. During his second stint as defensive coordinator in Pittsburgh from 2004-2014, LeBeau was a constant on Pittsburgh’s sideline and coached one of the best defenses in NFL history in 2008. The Pittsburgh Steelers have just one defensive player who was coached by LeBeau, and that’s defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.
