Brett Keisel was a defensive end for the Steelers from 2002 to 2014. Keisel was drafted out of BYU in the seventh round and cemented his role as a starter in 2006 following the departure of Kimo von Oelhoffen. His career highlights include two Super Bowl championships and being named to the Pro Bowl after the 2010 season. Keisel was famous for growing a long beard during each season; in the offseason, the beard was cut off and donated to Locks for Love. The beard also appeared in Troy Polamalu's series of Head and Shoulders commercials. In that ad, Polamalu questioned Keisel about who used all of his shampoo, and Keisel blamed the bald, clean-shaven Hines Ward.

Greg Lloyd was a linebacker for the Steelers from 1998 to 1997. As a sixth-round pick from Fort Valley State, Lloyd continued two Steeler traditions--great players from smaller college football programs and great players chosen in the later rounds of the draft. After struggling with injuries that wiped out his rookie season and most of his sophomore campaign, Lloyd cemented the starting job in 1989 and helped end the Steelers' four-year postseason drought. Lloyd was noted for his toughness on and off the field; in one incident, he broke a tooth while eating dinner. He then simply pulled the tooth out and finished the meal. Lloyd was the emotional leader of the Blitzburgh defenses of the 1990s. He was named to five Pro Bowls and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1994. His dominant play spawned the catchphrase "Avoid Lloyd".

Sadly, our old stomping ground is now kaput. That means I can't go find the 85 days post from the first of these threads.
For those who weren't around, most of the updates had a full writeup about each player. There aren't really any 85s who stand out in Steeler lore so I took a different tack: "Chad Johnson (1982-2008) was a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals". According to the post, he was vaporized by a Ryan Clark hit in the Steelers-Bengals game later that year. Basically used anachronism.
