Though he led Detroit to 2 NFL titles in 8 seasons, Merv Corning painted the Charismatic Bad-Boy as a Steeler (last 5 of his 15-year career). Corning wanted โthat broken-curfew lookโ on his face.

Iโm familiar with at least one other.
Look at the list of Hall of Fame quarterbacks that were Steelers:
Johnny Unitas
Len Dawson
Terry Bradshaw
Ben Roethlisberger
Russell Wilson
Aaron Rodgers
Thatโs 6. By far the most of any NFL team.
