in 1983 and missed out on the glory days of the 1970’s Terrell Edmunds Jersey , there is little doubt in my mind who was the greatest player I ever saw wearing the Black and Gold live in my 35+ years following the team. Drafted with the 10th pick of the 1987 NFL Draft, Hall of Fame cornerback Rod Woodson was not only the best defensive back of his era, but arguably one of the greatest cornerbacks of all-time. His departure in 1997 as a free agent after being lowballed by Pittsburgh devastated me as fan and seeing him play in the uniforms of the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders was heartbreaking to watch.Appearing as a guest on Undeniable with Dan Patrick on the A&T Audience Network last week Authentic James Conner Jersey , Woodson shared several stories about his life growing up and his time in the NFL. Revealing details of his time with the Steelers and the final phone call that caused him to turn his back on Pittsburgh, the interview is well worth a listen for all Pittsburgh fans. Conflicts about money would bookend Woodson’s career with the Steelers, starting with a 94-day holdout over his rookie contract and ending with a dispute over an extension in 1997. The Hall of Fame cornerback reveals how much he learned in Pittsburgh. While also sharing tales that would have social media up in arms if they happened today. Some might want to gloss over the parts about his years with the Baltimore Ravens, perhaps the most upsetting part of his career from a Steelers fan perspective and the only team he would earn a Super Bowl ring with. The full interview is 50 minutes long and can be found here. The range of opinions about Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown range from the sublime to the ridiculous these days depending upon where you look Youth JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , but it would appear that seasoned NFL reporter Peter King might have had one of the most extreme reactions of the week to Pittsburgh’s season-ending drama. Currently working for NBC after over 30 years with Sports Illustrated, King is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame board of selectors and one of 50 names on the AP All-Pro voting panel. As one of the more experienced reporters in his field, King is not often known for his hot takes, but that did not stop him from adding himself into the middle of the Steelers’ recent drama when speaking to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk on Friday. Revealing that he had gone out of his way to remove Brown from his All-Pro ballot because of the way Pittsburgh’s season ended http://www.steelersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-joe-haden-jersey , King highlighted another reason why so many players and fans believe media driven post-season awards are irrelevant. For a man who is not in the Steelers locker room on a weekly basis and has no more information about what really went on with Antonio Brown that anyone else in the media, King’s response is rather dramatic.His opinion makes even less sense when you look back at some of the comments he has made about the Hall of Fame credentials of a number of controversial candidates over the years. Most notably, he was an outspoken supporter of a relatively marginal player in Darren Sharper, despite multiple rape allegations involving 16 women that he would later plead guilty to and receive an 18-year jail sentence. He would also be an advocate for both Terrell Owens and Randy Moss for a place in the Hall of Fame Chris Boswell Jersey , arguing their off-field actions should have no bearing on their case for induction. Reasons he explained in a column for Sports Illustrated.Sadly, it seems King’s voting criteria is flexible depending upon the player involved and it would appear Brown is not given the same leeway as some of his peers. Some might call that hypocrisy. cheap football jerseys
