Had the 90s teams won a SB, those defenses would’ve been thought of as legendary.

A freak of nature player. I really wish the the guys on defense in that era could have won a Superbowl together.

Levon, I loved watching you play. Incredible and powerful. No one could run on your defense. Thanks for all the great memories.

Loved that era’s defense…A true champion caliber defense that had good to great players at practically every position.

Levon had a great career with the Steelers. He was outstanding in SB XXX. One of my favorite Steelers for those 90s teams. Great interview Stan!

I have no problem referring to Cam Heyward as Levon Kirkland 2.0, ha. LK was 270lbs+ covering receivers 35-40yds downfield & on the next play sack the QB...absolute MACHINE. Only person I ever saw THAT BIG, run THAT FAST, was his teammate, TE Eric Green. Also, he was a consumate professional, just like Heyward. Loved watchin' him play. 🖤💛

My absolute favorite player of this era. I met him his rookie year when I traveled from Massachusetts to see them face the Giants in NJ. We stayed in the same hotel as the team and I met him in the gift shop looking for batteries for my camera. He was as humble as you could imagine. He actually came to the bar and had a drink with us. We had beers and he had a water..lol. Spent $380 to get an authentic Kirkland jersey straight from Pittsburgh (no internet sites back then). Best Steelers jersey ever, to this day. He encapsulated everything about that linebacker core. Great interview. #99

All-Time great Steeler! I met him a few years after he retired and he was still a HUGE man! I swear his neck was as big as my thighs! Centerpiece to the greatest 4 man LB Corps. Wonderful,thoughtful,humble man.

In my humble opinion you & Jack were the 2 best MLB’s in Steeler history!! He was soooo big,but soo fast!! That size didn’t slow him down at all

Levon was the jewel of that insane 1992 draft class (Leon Searcy, Levon Kirkland, Joel Steed, Darren Perry) that turned the Steelers around instantly. We need another Levon desperately lol

Loved watching Levon. He confessed on the mistake during SB XXX and Emmitt's big 20yrd+ run in the 1st qtr. #22 ended up with less than 50 yards for the whole game! What a testament to that defense going against arguably the greatest offensive line in history. Really miss those guys- including coach C.

He deserves to win that super bowl in 95'. Coach Cowher should have benched Neil O' Donald for Cordell Stewart. What a shame...

@jwsteelers1 Жыл бұрын

Yes insert a rookie with 7 pass attempts on the season against that Dallas D. Great plan. O'Donnell blew the game but we wouldn't have been close with Kordell

@MrBeyondbelief Жыл бұрын

Actually Cowher planned to use all the tricks in the bag, and he didn;t!! Then strategy changed after falling behind 13-0. If not for those 2 INT's that O'DONNELL threw straight to Larry Brown, the Steelers would have won 17-13. THe great EMMITT Smith got only 47 yards???? Half of it on one play. LOVED that sack by Levon on Aikman and I thought the Steelers would pull it out after that.
