While the NFL is in the midst of meetings so secret that James Bond would be jealous, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are busy working out on their own time, Steelers Chronicle (http://steelerschronicle.com/) would like to take a step back from all of the serious business that is going on, and look on the lighter side of the team.

#1 – Gary Anderson (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/andergar02.htm), Kicker, (1982-1994

Anderson (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/Andexx20.htm) would go on to enjoy success with various teams, including a stellar 1998 season with the Minnesota Vikings where he was 100% in both field goals and extra points.......................
