Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team
The Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team was named as a part of the franchise's 75th season celebration in 2007. The club's top 33 players were selected in commemoration of the franchise's founding in 1933.[1] The team was chosen on the basis of fan voting.[2]
This All-Time team supplants the previous All-Time team which was named in 1982 as a part of the club's 50th season celebration.[3] The 50th season team included only 24 players, all of whom are included on this team except guards Gerry Mullins and Sam Davis, safety Mike Wagner and kickers Roy Gerela and Pat Brady.
The club announced the Steelers Legends team concurrently with this All-Time team. The Legends team compensates for the bias toward players who performed in the post-1970 era — it represents the best players in the franchise's pre-1970 history.[4]
