As you know, we’ve been breaking down the best Pittsburgh Steelers (http://steelerschronicle.com/) to wear every jersey number from #00 to #99 and have usually been leaping by 20′s, I apologize for the condense ten count here, but I’m about half an hour away from wrapping presents and baking a cake for my daughter’s first birthday. Though, the condensed version might be a better way to do it, let me know which you prefer and we’ll go on with that formula.
If you missed the first entries in the series you can check out #00-#20 (http://www.steelerschronicle.com/2011/06/pittsburgh-steelers-by-the-numbers-00-20.html/), #21-40 (http://www.steelerschronicle.com/2011/06/pittsburgh-steelers-by-the-numbers-21-40.html/) and #41-60 (http://www.steelerschronicle.com/2011/06/pittsburgh-steelers-by-the-numbers-41-60.html/) by clicking their respective links.
#61 – Brian Stenger (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StenBr20.htm), Linebacker (1969-1972)
The talent pool that wore #61 isn’t exactly deep, but it only takes 3 inches of water to drown someone, so take that for what it’s worth. The pick here was really a toss up between a gaggle of backups along the offensive line, so in true Pittsburgh fashion, I opted for the linebacker with multiple years for the team. To Stenger’s credit, he did pick off three passes in a backup capacity.
#62 – Tunch Ilkin (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/I/IlkiTu00.htm), Offensive Line (1980-1992)
What set Ilkin apart, other than his two Pro Bowl selections was his versatility............
