These 2 were incredible. Fun fact Noll wanted Stallworth over Swann in the draft, but he was convinced to take Swann because he went to USC and was more popular, vs Stallworth who went to a smaller, more black dominated school, and Bill Nunn had the only film reel on him. (Bill had alot of connections to those smaller black schools, its where we found alot of talent) so Noll was convinced to pass on Stallworth in the first betting that he would still be available later, and he was. I believe we waited until the 4th round to snag John. Another fun fact Stallworth ran a pretty slow 40 time but Nunn realized that the field he ran on (at the smaller school) was not nearly as well kept as USC, so he knew to take Stallworths 40 time with a grain on salt
they both overrated but ill give Stallworth a pass but not Swann is one of the most overrated player in NFL history
@@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpoundwith all due respect your monobjective .Their impact superceded their stats .Watch them in the SB . Stats aren't the primary criteria to evaluating a players career ,impact is , particularly in big games consistently .
@@haroldmccoy6748 ik u steelers fan was going to bring up the Superbowl and rings I'll give credit to teddy more than I would give these 2 wideouts but I give it to john as the better WR than Lynn Swann. he was doing all the dirty work meanwhile Swann was shining when Swann retires Stallworth take over and become the better wideout
@@haroldmccoy6748 Swann is the wideout of Terrell Davis both have like 2 or 3 good seasons now people actually think they are HOFers if that's the case victor Cruz should be a HOFer
@@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpound huh ?
Best playoff receiving duo ever
Hines Ward and Antonio Brown may have better numbers, and they both are from the 21st century and we tend to think in the present, but Lynn Swann and John Stallworth were some of the greatest contributors to those Steelers Super Bowls besides that great Steel Curtain Defense. They both put up respectable numbers for the era that they played in, and both had their own memorable moments, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. Highly underrated and I'm glad that both of them are in the Hall of Fame.
One of my favorite Steelers of all time! Stallworth was a class act all the way around!
Greatest WR duo of the 70s nuff said
All time...
Swann and Stallworth made me fall in love with football when I was an 8 year old in 1976
In case you guys weren’t noticing, it’s your thumbnails and titles that are the problem. Content is great. Email me I’ll design you a few for free given this is one of my favorite channels
Steelers know how to find receivers to this day salute to the whole organization
my two favorite wr of all time🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈💯✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
He was like the Hurricane and Swann was the Spitfire
Swann and Stallworth anticipated the great wide receiving tandems that came later, Monk-Brown, Rice-Taylor, Irvin-Harper, et al. They were the model of the modern wide receiver tandem. Together they belong in the Hall of Fame.
can always rely on nfl films to have something great, regardless of when the NFL makes a fool of itself in the modern day.
One of the greats on a team of greats.
The people who are saying that Stallworth was better than Swann are so off it's ridiculous and I loved Stallworth. When they played together, John had 3 seasons where he was better. People forget that Swann only played 9 seasons, the last of which was the strike shortened 1982 season. Stallworth played 5 more seasons so of course his numbers appear better. From 1975-1978, Swann was considered the best receiver in football. No one ever said that about John. If Swann isn't a Hall of Famer than neither is Gaye Sayers, Terrell Davis, Earl Campbell or Bob Griese, whose numbers appear smaller than their counterparts. Ask Jerry Rice, Chris Carter, T. O. and Randy Moss if Swann is a Hall of Famer or not.
Facts...
Only receiver in the history of the NFL to catch a ball out of bounce and still ended up in bounce.
@@jackpackage287 yep!!!!
Super bowl X
Keep in mind
He made those catches
With a concussion!!!
AMEN
Great memories , favorite sport, team, dynasty , players , receiving duo , and Swannie , favorite player of all times. NYC kid , black and gold heart , birth to earth !
Y'all have no idea how much I have waited for this video! lol
I was disappinted that they didnt go more in depth. I would have loved to have seen a full length docU on these two.
Best Duo of receivers of all time
Hines carried on this tradition so well and was easily the best blocking WR in football history, bar-none. I think Larry Fitz is up there too - but Hines could still compile 1000 yd seasons and blast holes for The Bus on the edges. Hines really carried on the values and skills of these 2 legends...
Hines would have been a perfect fit with the Steelers of the 70’s. His toughness would have guaranteed it. He carried on that great tradition and imparted it on the WR’s that followed him. I’d love to see him as a coach with the Steelers.
Maybe the greatest receivers in Steelers history
Antonio Brown is up there… but he lost a lot of respect from the past couple years
No maybe, they're the standard, period. With all due respect to Hines Ward, AB, and Plaxico Burress, this duo along with Franco and Rocky carried Bradshaw until 1978. Until then, he was a strong armed but often inaccurate quarterback who admittedly struggled with his confidence.
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs I wouldn’t say that Burress is a great receiver, Swann caught way more passes and had more receiving yards and TDs all in time where there were 14 game regular seasons
Plaxico was just hitting his stride when Big Ben came on the scene. I will admit that his best body of work was with the Giants. Santonio Holmes had a better Steelers career than Burress I'll give you that.
Beautiful stuff
They brought the passing game to Pittsburgh
Damn, I love NFL Films!
That is exactly right.
My Favorite STEELER to this day
So many Hall of Famers, on the 1970's Steelers.
And in all honestly, some are only out because the league feels like there are too many in. LC Greenwood would've been in 20 years ago if he played for another team. And it took 15 years of Tony Dungie propaganda for them to get Donnie Shell in
Before Jerry Rice and John Taylor , there was Lynn Swann and John Stallworth .
lynn swann was not from california he just went to usc he was from the deep south in Tennessee
Born in Tennessee but a California kid ,listen to his diction, clearly not southern.
At 2:37 the astroturf shoes that takes me way back
What do you guys think of the Steelers #3 receiver Jim Smith? He always seemed pretty good when given a chance. After his NFL career was over he played one year in the USFL and dominated the league with "20" touchdown receptions.
It's a lot different going over the middle today than it was back then…
Go STEELERS!!!!! 💜💚💞💛
These WR's dont even know low-key is a word lol.
Much deserved
If Drew Pearson & Tony Hill where great Wrs then I definitely think these guys Two guys John Stallworth & Lynn Swann are little better. I'm a Cowboys fan too.
Bailey. Betty. Stallworth.
Sup
How ya doin
Lynn Swann was retired in 1982 and John Stallworth was retired in 1987 decline Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver team of the 70s was gone but it did not enter in the Hall of Fame
The jumbled riddle perceptually play because bamboo apically seal with a rare current. wet, cloistered water
The unequaled facilities intermittently reign because crawdad parenthetically sip modulo a half bed. glamorous, furry furtive spandex
Lynn Swann overrated
So is your moms head game
Dammmmmm bro u cold for that one
😂😂😂😂
OBJ's career has been defined by one glove aided catch but Swann's overrated? OK...
Lay off the opioids bud
