Steven Brust

Steven Brust

Pittsburgh was a great team. Coach Noll, Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, L.C. Greenwood and all those guys did a great job. That's the team that kept us from winning two Super Bowls. It was a great rivalry.

Earl Campbell

I did some good things as a rookie.

Earl Campbell

Everything in life has a price on it - there ain't a damn thing free in America, and football has got a price on it.

Earl Campbell

I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.

Earl Campbell

I learned from different guys I played with, too. The key was probably three people: The good Lord, the offensive linemen I played with and great fullbacks that could block very well.
