Steelers season kicks off in 20 days against the Falcons, and as fans gear up, they’re revisiting the legacy of Pittsburgh’s number twenty. Current RB Kaleb Johnson joins a storied list that includes Patrick Peterson, Cameron Sutton, Robert Golden, and Al-Hajj Shabazz — but none compare to Rocky Bleier. Drafted, wounded in Vietnam, told he’d never play again — Bleier defied the odds, returned in ’71, became a starter, rushed for 1,000 yards in ’76 alongside Franco Harris, amassed over 5,000 yards from scrimmage, 25 TDs, and four Super Bowl wins. His comeback story and impact earned him a spot on the Steelers All-Time Team and Hall of Honor — undisputed king of number twenty in Pittsburgh.
