Which Pittsburgh Steelers in modern times that went elsewhere were very productive elsewhere?

I had forgot that Bubby went to Philadelphia, then the Jets before going to Denver and finishing up in Minnesota.

Funny how one forgets things. I remembered Neil O'Donnell went to the Jets for big money and ended his career as a backup in Tennessee. I forgot he played for the Bengals in 1998 and started 11 games for them.

THIS is modern - like last 10 -15 years or so. it is a SHORT LIST, that is for sure. Hargrave was a tough decision, to let him go. Faneca I think has several VERY GOOD years with the Jets when we said goodbye. Edmunds will be a back up soon.

OBV, E Sanders lit it up , after he left.

 

Did nate have success? Conner for sure, had a GREAT first year in his depart, but OBV the team was set on Najee.

 

yeah, but......you know....

 

I'd say so. He was a starter for 7 seasons after his stint in Pittsburgh. He had 354 receptions for 5,249 yards and 32 touchdowns in those seasons. That's an average season of 50.5 Rec, 750 yards, and 4.5 TD's. Not too shabby. He was essentially a quality #2. Nothing crazy but a good player.

For an undrafted guy who was essentially a #3 for his time in Pittsburgh, he carved out quite a solid career.

 

Also Hargrave

 

I didn't forget Hargrave, he was mentioned 50xs already

 

Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Wallace, Mike Vrabel, the immortal Josh Mauro, LJ Fort and Bryant McFadden are all the recent ones that come to mind. I know that I am missing others on this list but these ones are the most prominent.


I share the opinion of @Brice on how Terrell Edmunds will play out in Philly. Going to be interesting for certain.
