Marv Kellum was part of the great Steelers rookie class of 1974. His biggest play for the Steelers came when he recoved a fumble on a kickoff return in Super Bowl IX.

He was considered to be a contender to replace Andy Russell after he retired but was traded to the Cardinals.

Another member of the greatest Steelers generation to pass, sadly.

 

RIP. yea he wasn't here long. sure would like a 74 draft again.

 

Marv was a good special team player here. His fumble recovery on the second half kickoff was a really big play in Superbowl IX. The Steelers were up only 2-0 when Marv recovered the fumble. A few plays later Franco ran in for a TD that made the score 9-0. The way our D was playing that day a 9 point lead was virtually unsurmountable.

 

Rip Marv

 

Prayers of comfort and peace to the Kellum family.

 

RIP.
