John Stallworth

Ain't one of them gonna go, "Oh, let me see." No.

Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Ham, Franco, Rocky, M- Mike Webster, Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, [laughs] John Stallworth.

I mean, I could keep going.

[laughs] John Kolb.

Yeah.

John Stallworth.

Yeah.

They did what the Cowboys did early on, and they were finding players at historic Black colleges-

What would Joe Montana be without John Taylor, Dwight Clark, and Jerry Rice? What would Peyton Manning have been without Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark? And you could throw in there Marshall Faulk while we at it.

What would Troy Aikman have been without Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith? What would Aaron Rodgers have been without Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson? And what about Ben Roethlisberger? What would he have been without Antonio Brown and Hines Ward? How good would Kurt Warner have been without Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt? And who would Terry Bradshaw have been without Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and Franco Harris? There would be no Dan Fouts without Kellen Winslow, Wes Chandler, Charlie Joiner, or John Jefferson.

I brought up those great quarterbacks for a reason.

They were great, but they were surrounded by great players, too.

The linebackers Charlie Hall, Dick Ambrose, and Gerald Irons, the former Oakland Raider.

parents got on the left corner Tom London on the right corner a rookie from North Carolina State Tony Peters and Tom Darden are the safeties the ball is at the 11 yard line second down six and the official comes in to look at the football and they're going to switch balls now even as Mike Webster was over the ball the Steelers right to left John Stallworth, wide receiver.

Lynn Swan, wide receiver.

John Kolb, Sam Davis, Mike Webster, Jerry Mullins, Ray Penny in the interior line.

Oliver Davis has entered the ballgame.

Lynn Swan in the slot to the left side.

John Stallworth wide in the same direction.

Split backs.

If you know Browns-

... non-answer.

If you know Brown- Browns, Steelers all-time leaders, call us.

This is their first time in a white environment.

The male belongs to John Stallworth.

These guys, Sam Davis, they had never been in a white environment or with a white coach.

So that was a hell of an adjustment for them.

And then I heard the roar of the crowd.

And John goes, I just put my hands in my head and I'm thinking, oh no, I'm turning around slow, waiting to see Terry on the ground behind me, you know? And instead I see Terry jumping up and down.

He goes, and then I look back the other way just in time to see John Stallworth score a touchdown.

And I'm thinking, what happened? And I turn around and here's Sherman White on the ground behind him and Craig is standing over top

Like, it's, it's the iconic thing, and I'm sure every commercial's trying to capture the magic of that moment.

And just to kind of reiterate what, what Willie said, I mean, you know, we are blessed and fortunate and slash spoiled, um, to be a part of the Pittsburgh Steelers as we were, because we did get to co- come in contact with greatness such as Joe Greene, such as Franco Harris, right? I mean, Mel Blount, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth.

You know, I think about the, the late great Dwight White, uh, L.C. Greenwood, and, like, all of these people, you know- Craig, uh, Craig Bingham, Donnie Shell, Rocky Bleier, you know, Jon Kolb, right? We, we have all of these just mythical guys in the lore of football that we have to come in contact with, and we were blessed because me and Joe was right on the field.

He was watching one-on-ones when me and-

Demarius Thomas.

That's Rob Gronkowski, Emmanuel Sanders, Herman Moore, Vincent Jackson, Harold Carmichael, Fred Blitnikoff, Mark Clayton, Tyler Lockett, the Fainting Goat, Ricky Prohl, Mark Duper, Terry Glynn, Mark Carrier, Joe Horn, John Stallworth.

Good gosh.

Like the names of these guys, Jordy Nelson.
