    Who was you favorite player for the 3 Head Coaches that we have had over the last 52 years.

    For me it is:

    Coach Noll - Jack Lambert. Runner ups are Joe Greene and Rocky Bleir.

    Coach Cowher - Hines Ward. Runner ups Troy Polamalu are Jerome Bettis.

    Coach Tomlin - Ben Roethlisberger. Runner ups are Maurkice Pouncey and Heath Miller.

    Noll - too young but I'll go Woodson because he was drafted by Noll

    Cowher - Porter

    Tomlin - Harrison

    Yeah but he didn't start until Porter left. I was kind of unclear on the overlap.

    Heyward is my favorite player drafted by Tomlin.

    What are you confused about? Ben played the majority of his career under Tomlin.

    Noll was before I got into football

    Cowher kind of had 2 eras: pre-and post-Kordell

    pre-Kordell: Greg Lloyd
    post-Kordell: Troy Polamalu

    Same with Tomin, pre- and post-"Cowher's players and Coaches"

    pre-leftovers: James Harrison
    post-leftovers: Le'veon Bell

    Chuck Noll / Greg Lloyd

    Bill Cowher / Hines Ward

    Mike Tomlin / Ben Roethlisberger

    runners up

    Noll / Woodson
    Cowher / Porter
    Tomlin / Harrison

    I excluded 70's Noll players. I was too small to remember the glory years.

    But drafted under Cowher's time. That's the way I read it?!

    The OP didn’t say that the coach had to draft the player, if a player played under two different coaches, it’s up to you which you associate them with.

    For me it would be:

    Noll: Bradshaw. Runner up: Swann
    Cowher: Woodson. Runner up: Ward
    Tomlin: Troy: Runner up: Ben

    Can't do this because there are too many that were deserving and players playing for more than one HC>.
