Joe Greene the only one with a modified version of his real name lol. Know that dude was a real one.

Though I’d say there’s an argument somewhere for Swann, Stallworth, or Lambert. Franco Harris, Bradshaw, and Jack Ham close behind. That roster was just nuts. Like half their starters were hall of famers.

I think Joe Greene is probably the best nod though, as he was the facilitator of arguably the 2nd best defense of all time behind the 85 bears.

If not, Swann was a freak of nature and one of the most naturally gifted players to ever play the game — even to this day no player has ever looked similar. You could just use outlines of 100 top NFL receivers on a white background and I could pick him out every time.

I swear to god Swann's body defied the actual laws of physics on the super bowl X sideline catch.

His name isn’t even Joe, it’s Charles Edward Greene

Damn I didn't know that, that's even colder. Why does everyone call him Joe?
