PITTSBURGH STEELERS
OFFENSE
Neil O'Donnell (14), QB, 6-3, 227, 6th year, Maryland.
Comes off best season as Steelers opened up attack ... Team MVP, threw for 2,970 yards, 17 TDs, seven interceptions ... Had so-so AFC championship game vs. Colts, but came through on winning drive ... Free agent who can add to his bankroll potential with big Super Bowl.
*
Erric Pegram (20), RB, 5-10, 195, 5th year, North Texas State.
Finished 10th in AFC with 813 yards rushing in first season with Pittsburgh ... Signed away from Atlanta as free agent ... Provides speed in backfield ... Caught 26 passes, not likely to be used as receiver.
*
Bam Morris (33), RB, 6-0, 246, 2nd year, Texas Tech.
Struggled early in season, then got in shape and had big second half
*
John L. Williams (22), FB, 5-11, 235, 10th year, Florida.
Excellent blocker and receiver, rarely runs with ball ... O'Donnell looks for him on flare passes ... Had 545 career catches, second to Roger Craig's record for running backs of 566 ... Leads the way for Pegram and Morris, protects O'Donnell.

Mark Bruener (87), TE, 6-4, 254, 1st year, Washington.
