They don't talk about him anymore, but Lynn Swann & John Stalworth were two of the greatest acrobatic catching receivers I ever witnessed in the NFL!!

Lynn swann was such a fantastic wide receiver during a time when the NFL was just brutal.

I feel for Mark Washington.  He really covered Swann about as well as could be covered in SB 10 but got forever immortalized as the guy that got beat, again and again and again.

Lynn Swann made some of the most spectacular catches in NFL history!

That was a great Era for the Steelers and Chuck Noll understood the games.

Swann was one of the best receivers ever.

"Lynn Swann.....soft"  George Atkinson.   6 months after that 1975 AFC title game in Pittsburgh when Swann was knocked out of the game by Atkinson,  the Steelers and Raiders met in week 1 of the 1976 season in Oakland.  Early in that game Steelers cornerback Mel Blount picked up Cliff Branch and slammed him down on his head.  That hit was retaliation for the Atkinson hit on Swann 6 months earlier.  Then later in that game in Oakland, the Raiders retaliated for the hit on Branch when Atkinson went after Swann again with the infamous forearm to the back of the head hit when the ball was nowhere near Swann.  After the game Steeler coach Chuck Noll labeled the Raiders as a "criminal element" in the NFL.  Atkinson sued Noll for slander but the case was dismissed by the courts.

Me and my brother would try to emulate Lynn Swann's catches as kids. I always thought the catch he made on the sideline in Super Bowl 10 was more extraordinary than the catch he made at midfield. The Steel Curtain Defense was a sight to behold and a force to be reckoned with. Swann is arguably the greatest WR of all time.

Lynn Swann and John Stallworth are the greatest receivers combo ever! They are both in The Football Hall of Fame! 🏈🤴🏿🏈🤴🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

My most favorite receiver of all time!!!!!

Lynn u are a true Warrior Bro ❤

Thank you Mr Swan for the memories and the opportunity as a Kid back in the day to call out your name when my brother and my friends would be out in our neighborhood and going out for the pass and yell out " And Swan is going for it " LOL oh what a time in a young kids mind to ever think we had or even possess your talent or Blessed Abilities to Perform some of the Most Outstanding Receptions in Professional Football- yet we did DREAM!!!.  One of the Best : Mr Lynn Swan

I love Lynn…he was one of my favorite players. 🏈

He and I attended the same high school.  He was a nice guy and a special athlete

Kudos to Joe Buck for giving some of the older greats a chance to share their stories and get the recognition they still deserve.  I can see a twinkle in some of their eyes when they're on this show and it's just great to see.

Lynn Swann was always the standard. There will be no duplicates. 👑💪🏾🏈

Beautiful memories. Magical time for the Steelers, and the game of football. So many great teams in that era, and legendary players, coaches.

Great stuff!!! As a kid, I was in awe of the 70's Steelers. Legends, superstars, role players, and of course, Hall of Famers. Swann was definitely my favorite WR at the time.

Lynn Swann, a class act and still the best wide receiver in Pittsburgh Steelers history. 🏈🏆

Lynn Swann, my childhood hero.  What I went through trying to catch like him!
