For another year, a former Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> player or coach is guaranteed to win a Super Bowl title. With the New England Patriots<\/a> and Seattle Seahawks suiting up on Sunday to decide the Super Bowl Champion, a litany of former Steelers connections dot both sidelines.<\/p>\n

On the Patriots, the most obvious two connections are that of former Steelers linebacker Robert Spillane, a prominent starter on the Patriots defense, and head coach Mike Vrabel, who was a linebacker for the Steelers under Bill Cowher. Quarterback Josh Dobbs was drafted by the team in 2017, and has hopped around the league since.<\/p>\n

Either way, the Steelers have three obvious connections in the Patriots organization and on the field.<\/p>\n

As for the Seahawks, wide receiver Cody White spent multiple years on the Steelers\u2019 roster fringe and on their practice squad as a special teamer.<\/p>\n

He headed to Seattle for a new lease on life two seasons ago, and has stuck around in the Emerald City. <\/p>\n

White made two catches for 44 yards, including a toe-tapping 28-yard catch on third-and-long to keep the game-tying drive going in regulation in 2024. That catch came directly after White blocked a Rams punt, too.<\/p>\n

White is currently battling an injury, but he made a Week 1 53-man roster for the first time in his career this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For another year, a former Pittsburgh Steelers player or coach is guaranteed to win a Super Bowl title.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739856,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2055],"tags":[7,6,520,57,2360,426,16165],"class_list":{"0":"post-739855","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-pittsburgh","11":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","12":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","13":"tag-steelers","14":"tag-super-bowl-lx"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116039819869482435","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
