Obituary: John 'Jack' Wiley / Distinctive Steelers offensive lineman
John F. Wiley never played in a championship game for the Steelers and never made a Pro Bowl, yet he remains one of the more distinctive players to wear the uniform.
Like Joe Greene, he wore No. 75.
Like Chuck Noll, he has a college football stadium named after him.
Like every current Steelers veteran, he played a game on television, only he holds a distinction none of the others do: he played in the very first televised college football game.
And unlike any other Steelers offensive lineman since him, he helped block for the NFL's leading rusher in Pittsburgh.
