This inclusion may draw the ire of Pittsburgh fans. AB is getting mentioned as a top-10 Steelers player all-time over the likes of Mel Blount, Hines Ward, Jack Butler, Jack Ham, Lynn Swann, and others. Let’s put aside the social media strangeness Brown operates with on X for a second. Purely as a player, he was one of the most dominant players of the last half-century at his position. Brown was a First-team All-Pro four-straight seasons from 2014-17. He led the league in catches and receiving yards on two separate occasions. Brown notched seven 1,000-yard seasons with the franchise. This included a 2015 season in which he caught 136 passes for 1,834 yards and 10 TDs. The numbers don’t even do justice to how gifted of a football player Brown was.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.
