#8: Steel

Steel’s divisional rivalry with Dan was the most fascinating two-man race in the league over the course of the entire cycle, and though he never won a Super Bowl he was one of the most feared users in the NFC through the entirety of M21. There was a baffling degree of inconsistency both season-to-season (missed playoffs 3x, had one or two strange losses almost every season), but I have to give him his respect for competing with DBC from season 1 onward and looking truly elite during his Super Bowl run before he ran into a near-unstoppable force in Austin. That AFCN’s gonna be fascinating next cycle… I have no idea who’s gonna win it year-to-year, but what I do know is I’d give Steel just as much of a shot as anyone.

Another user with a very interesting cycle for my #8 is Steel. Steel missed the playoffs 1 season (maybe 2) and a lot of people wrote him off. He turned it around, made some moves, locked in game play wise and ended up making a super bowl as well. Steel showed he could beat Dan which created a nice rivalry. Unfortunately, Steel more often than not struggled in the playoffs which puts him at #8 for me.

This man had some ups and downs but those Ups were very impressive. When that defense was playing lock down no offense was moving the ball. Steel played inconsistently throughout the cycle on offense but when he played a smart brand of run first and a underneath passing game he was in the Super Bowl. Look forward to seeing him improve next cycle with his hometown Steelers.

Steel made some questionable GM moves early in the cycle in my opinion, but once he got the roster he wanted he was dangerous. We all saw just how dangerous when he made a superbowl. Never a great offensive user, but his defense made up for it. What also shows his talent level is how he played competitively with one of the best users of BL history (Dan) all season.
