Lynn Swann: The Greatest WR in Super Bowl history

Wish AB could get open in the big games like this guy...

Article:

...While Rice, Stallworth, Ward, and Holmes were great on the game's biggest stage, their glittering performances fail to match Swann's, as the Steelers don't win three of their four Super Bowls during the 1970s without unbelievable play of No.88

Was not even a twinkle in my mothers eye when those 70s teams took the field.


Some of my friends state that was the greatest dynasty they had ever witnessed.

 

That is not including the fact that the Steelers faced some of the greatest teams in NFL history during that span as well.



Beating the likes of the Raiders, Cowboys, Vikings and Dolphins were no easy tasks. Even up and coming teams like the Bengals and the Oilers were not cakewalks either.

 

1... 2... 3... BOOM! Nailed it!

 

The first Super Bowl I watched was Super Bowl X where Swann went off on the Cowboys and gravity, lol. He was absolutely phenomenal. I had a poster of one Steeler in my room growing up. Lynn Swann.

 

That's why Swann is in the HOF, his performances in the big games.

 

Yep. Was it Superbowl X when he had like four catches, but those catches basically won the game? First WR to be MVP as I recall.

His catch on the sideline - not sure if that was X or XIII - is, for me, possible the greatest catch of all time.

 

Yeah he averaged a unbelievable 40 yards a catch in SB X, that catch on the sideline was incredible it was like he was out of bounds in the air then he landed in bounds afterwards.
