“With the demise of Kevin Green we lost an amazing player and person this morning. His untimely death is a shock to all of us as he was a close friend and ally of many in the Steelers family.” In a statement. “It had an immediate effect when Kevin came to Steelers in 1993. Joining Greg Lloyd, Kevin and Greg led a defense that became known as Blitzburg and went on to play in Super Bowl XXX. Kevin’s energy and enthusiasm were an inspiration to our team. As well as our fans.
“My condolences to Kevin’s wife, Tara, their children and the entire Green family during this most difficult time. They will always be members of the Steelers family and in our thoughts and prayers.”
A true success story run by Sankalp was not a walk-on at Ub Burn before joining Green Ram, where Femmer’s future Hall didn’t start the game until his fourth NFL season in 1988, when he recorded 16.5 sacks – a career high that followed with the following season. Was matched.
In 1993, he joined the Green Stats and played a major role in the final race to the Pittsburgh Super Bowl XXXX, where the Steelers fell into the Cowboys. He thrived in a 3-4 plan to rejoin head coach Dom Capers, who had previously been his defensive coordinator for two seasons in Pittsburgh, to move on to the Panthers.
Green’s greatness came into view as he wore his career, a sack master who opposed quarterbacks and twice led the league in the bog, no matter his age but was constantly in the chaos he created in the backfield.
Green had seven asons with double-digit sacks in doubles or more, which tied Smith the longest, and he was the only player with a double-digit sack for four teams. In his final year of 1999 he saw as many as 12 sacks for the Panthers as he really went out of his way to roar.
Loud, physical and aggressive, Green dubbed pro wrestling, as well as joining World Championship Wrestling when he was still an NFL active player. He was bigger than life, loudly doing everything he did in the arena.
He will also collect the Super Bowl title as a linebackers coach with the Packers.
He played with a smile for the love of the game and the love of the ruin, from which he was crushed. He was one of the NFL’s greatest wild men.
