		The NFL lost one of it’s legends with the passing of Dan Ross, a former Northeastern star who went on to set the NFL record for the most Super Bowl receptions.

	Official site of the Pittsburgh Steelers - Article
		PITTSBURGH - By the time the 1979 NFL season had concluded, and Super Bowl XIV was a part of its history, the Pittsburgh Steelers were recognized as a dynasty, as the Team of the 1970s, as a model of success for the rest of the league.
		And that 1979 team was a monument to this philosophy, because every player on the roster that year either had been drafted by the Steelers or had been signed by the team as a free agent directly out of college.
		Clearly, when it comes to the Steelers and the NFL Draft, the mistakes of the 1950s and 1960s paved the way for the unparalleled successes of the 1970s.
