It’s hard to top “Mean” as nickname.
Always liked "Iron Mike" (Webster).
But, as mentioned, "Mean" (Joe Greene) was the best.
Lots to choose from including ones already mentioned above:
Dwight "Mad Dog" White
Ernie "Fats" Holmes
Jack "Dobre Shunka" Ham
Randy "The Rabbi" Grossman
Donnie "The Torpedo" Shell
Tim "The Bus Driver" Lester
Cody "Ball Jabber" Wallace
See you Space Cowboy ...
Isaac “Suddenness & Glide” Redman
Rashard "Ben humping Spindenhall" Mendenhall
Mean Joe!
Ross "Cockring" Cockerell
Will I am Gay
So many good ones.
But, got to go with Mean Joe.
His teammates said it was very appropriate.
That’s enough for me.
I'm surprised no one has gone with Big Snack. It's one of my personal favorites. I'd put Mean Joe first and Big Snack second.
Hands down the greatest Steeler Nick name has to be mean Joe Greene, but my all time favorite football nickname is the galloping ghost.
I’m actually surprised no one mentioned “Big.”
“Big snack” no question. I met the man at a golf outing and all he did was eat.
For the o-line .https://youtu.be/auszi9bUr3o Sorry had to do it .
Two bags are guarenteed to fit all sizes ,or your money back. If you are not completely satisfied call 1-800-GOO-DHELL We show 5 bags to choose from,most problems only need 2 bags .
Two things...
1. Everyone refers to #75 as Mean Joe.
2. I never say Bettis. It’s always The Bus.
Frenchy Fuqua was always my fave nickname.
John "The Legend" Kuhn
I agree with those who said Mean Joe, Steelers and Mean Joe are synonymous
also have always like Johnny ‘Blood’ McNally’s nickname, even though he played only a couple seasons with the franchise in the late 30’s and coached for a season or two after that. I think he got the name because he played an entire game with a collapsed kidney, maybe somebody can confirm
forgot about Dennis ‘Dirt’ Winston, is there a better name for a linebacker?
We can’t forget Foo, for Chris ......well you know his last name.

Yes, Dermontti was also "Dirt".
Dirt Winston probably would have been a starter on alot of other teams but was behind Jack Lambert. People forget he could also play OLB.

I wonder if Frenchy and LC were the captains of the Steeler fashion shows of the 70s
