Andy Russell was an amazing linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but what was even more impressive was after his rookie season, he went and served in the military for a few years and then returned to football.

Russell had a great career with the Steelers and is known to be on their all-time team list. In his 13-year career on the field, Russell recorded 18 interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, 10 fumble recoveries, and 38 sacks.

He was also a seven-time Pro Bowler and a Second Team All-Pro in 1972. Russell also has two Super Bowl rings to show for his time with the Steelers. Russell was a Steelers legend so it just doesn't seem right now to have him on this list.
