  1. Vote: 20 Ike Taylor

    Ike T Swagger University. Dude was always on an island while Lebeau drew up blitzes, and he handled it so well. Always underrated in terms of top corners in the league for that reason. Love me some Peezy, but all that talking doesn’t exactly embody the Steelers

  2. ike. here his whole career. on all three sb teams. along with troy was a constant in a defensive backfield that was otherwise kind of constantly in flux.

  3. Let’s not forget that Ike was a standout special teams guy before he got the starting CB spot. The kind of guy that gives whatever it takes to win.

  4. I don’t see how Minkah lost to Aaron Smith. Aaron Smith was more injury prone than Minkah is and that pretty effing bad. But for real though there is no way Troy doesn’t win this whole thing. He’s the bridge between generations. But this particular vote, I’m voting for POPS! Joey Porter Sr.

  5. Ike. Only suited up in the black and gold and never stirred shit up about the Steelers in the media like Harrison did.

  6. If you mean who embodies the traditional Steelers, this is a good list to choose from. 

    If you mean who embodies the current Steelers since circa 2010, then the finals are Markus Wheaton vs. Diontae Johnson and there’s no need for all this other voting.
