Favorite lesser known player in the Tomlin era ?

1. DUCK!!!! 🦆

2. Ordered a jersey of his just for heck of it

3. I’d hardly consider duck to be a “lesser known player”. The guy had shirts made for him down the strip district and everything

4. I don’t think he’s lesser known in Pittsburgh, but I always thought Lawrence Timmons deserved more recognition league-wide.

5. [deleted]

6. Here’s one I never see in this sub, Jonathan Dwyer. Damn I thought he was awesome.

7. Gary Russell

8. Duck singlehandedly runs away with the award for the worst player that somehow managed to have fans.

   He’s like a less talented Justin Fields.

9. Lesser known nationally? Aaron Smith.

   Lesser known to Steelers fans? Tyler Palko

10. I got my dad a Duck cameo years ago for his bday as a laugh, he killed it. Recorded it while he was driving on the highway, but killed it. We still send it to each other randomly

11. Nate Washington

12. Quack

13. I have a stitched Issac Redman jersey. 

14. Loved Big Flo, Flozell Adams.

15. World Champion Bill Gay who scored a lot of touchdowns (5) for a defensive player.

    David DeCastro, but he probably doesn’t qualify as “lesser known”.

    Vince Williams.

    Stephon Tuitt.

16. Chidi Iwuoma, special teams demon

17. Brett Kiesel, Ike Taylor

18. chris fuamatu-ma’afala. Yea i had to google and copy and paste

19. Will Howard. He is my favorite lesser known player in the Tomlin era.

    Serious answer, Nate Washington.

20. Larry Foote

21. Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala

22. William Gay

23. Deshea Townsend

24. Duce Staley when he was with us

25. Ziggy Hood

26. The defense would not have been elite without Farrior playing quarterback from the mlb spot

27. Dri Archer. Specifically his potential / Madden speed

28. DeAngelo Williams

29. Mewelde Moore

30. Buddy pumps Lainey Wilson full of baby gravy.

    He is appropriately known.

31. I used to love watching Vince Williams jump around hollaring after making a tackle. He had that “kid living his dream” energy to his game.

32. Robert spillane

33. Najee Davenport, he of laundry basket infamy.

34. Randel-el and AB as return men when that was actually an explosive part of our team

35. Emmanuel Sanders? He was quickly overshadowed by AB after being drafted in the same year, but he was a solid option.

36. I will never understand the duck obsession. Dude was lame as hell and terrible, yet somehow still gets brought up.

37. Jerricho Cotchery
