In addition to being a great lead blocker, Bleier was the second of
the Steelers' rushing weapons (Franco Harris was the primary back), but
was effective nonetheless at both blocking and rushing. In 1976, both
Harris and Bleier rushed for over 1,000 yards, making this the second
NFL team to accomplish this feat, after Mercury Morris and Larry Csonka
of the 1972 Miami Dolphins.
Bleier played in the first four Steeler Super Bowl victories, and caught
the touchdown pass from Terry Bradshaw that gave Pittsburgh a lead it
would never surrender in Super Bowl XIII. He also recovered Dallas's
onside kick in the closing seconds, sealing the Steelers' victory.
This Pittsburgh Steelers jersey was signed in silver by Bleier and inscribed "4 x SB Champs." There is a small black blemish on the back above the "B" as shown in photos. This item includes a Great Moments hologram and COA.
