Justin Strzelczyk Biography

Justin Strzelczyk is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on August 18, 1968 in West Seneca, New York, United States.

Justin Conrad Strzelczyk (August 18, 1968 – September 30, 2004) was an American football offensive tackle who played nine full seasons in the National Football League for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1990 to 1998. His death, at age 36, helped spark a debate in the NFL about the link between playing football and suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

He made the Pittsburgh Steelers roster after the team’s 1990 training camp and moved to Plum. Strzelczyk played on the Steelers special teams during his first two seasons. However, when right tackle Tunch Ilkin was injured and missed four games in 1992, Strzelczyk leaped into starting duty. He then started 75 of the 133 games he played and started at every line position, except center. During games, he would pick up the red phone on the Steelers’ sideline and scream at the team’s offensive coordinator, from Ron Erhardt to Chan Gailey to Ray Sherman: “Run the damn ball!” He played a key role in getting the Steelers to Super Bowl XXX.
