Greg Hawthorne Remembered | Pittsburgh Steelers News
Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Greg Hawthorne, the Steelers’ surprise 1979 first-round pick and Super Bowl champ, has died at 69. Though his NFL path was marked by injuries, role changes, and limited snaps, he shone brightest in 1980—stepping in for Franco Harris to rush for 263 yards and 4 TDs. Later, he played receiver, tight end, and RB for the Patriots, even reaching another Super Bowl in ’86. His family asks for prayers as they grieve.
