With Chiefs Win, Two Ex-Steelers Become Super Bowl Champs

Two ex-Pittsburgh Steelers are world champions. In Super Bowl 58, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime to capture this year’s Lombardi. Here’s the former Steeler’s players who get to proudly hoist the Lombardi into the air.

DL Isaiahh Buggs (Practice Squad)

Pittsburgh drafted Buggs into the NFL, their sixth round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. Reuniting with former DL Coach Karl Dunbar, Buggs had talent and occasionally flashed but his play was maddeningly inconsistent and he struggled with his technique and play above-the-neck.

Appearing in 29 games over three seasons, the Steelers gave up on him mid-way through the 2021 year despite being depleted by defensive line injuries.
