Our friends over at Touchdown Wire took on the monumental task of naming the best player to wear every different jersey number from No. 00 all the way through No. 99. The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to land nine different guys on the list and a case could be made for a couple more.

Here are the nine players who were named the best ever to wear their numbers:

26. Rod Woodson

36. Jerome Bettis

43. Troy Polamalu

47. Mel Blount

59. Jack Ham

66. Alan Faneca

75. Joe Greene

91. Kevin Greene

97. Cam Heyward

The two names that immediately jumped out as absent were linebacker T.J. Watt at No. 90 and center Mike Webster at No. 52. But I suppose we can make an exception for Julius Peppers and Ray Lewis but make no mistake, it is close.
