brooks1957 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Never want to see this happen - even to a rival. From Browns Nation - RIP Gabe, and prayers to the Rivera family. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/former-steelers-texas-tech-dt-gabe-rivera-who-was-paralyzed-in-car-accident-dies-at-57/ar-AAAd9TC?li=BBnbfcL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Sad to see Rivera pass away. Should’ve drafted Dan Marino over Rivera. If they had, the Steelers may have 2 or 3 more Super Bowls right now. I still can’t believe the Steelers passed on Marino, and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never followed the draft back then but it must have been such a shock when they passed on Marino. They thought they had their QB of the future in Malone Considering Marino was from Pitt, it has to one of the draft picks that anyone can remember. People still talk about this, and would it happen today with our FO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If had fallen to the Redskins, the Redskins were going to take Marino over Darrell Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
