Steelers starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wears #7.
Dennis Dixon, who played as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, wore the number 2 jersey during his time with the team. He is not associated with the number 5 jersey. The number 5 has been worn by other players in the Steelers' history, but not by Dixon.
Joe Gilliam wore #17 for the Steelers.
Erric Pegram wore number 20 for the Steelers in 1995 and 1996.
Lynn Swann wore #88 for the Steelers from 1974-1982.
Willis Hope "Weegie" Thompson wore #87 for the Steelers from 1984-1989.
Johnny Clement was the only Steelers player to wear #00. He wore it from 1946-1948.
Mike Webster was the last player to wear the number in 1989. I do not think the Steelers will be giving the number 52 out anytime soon.
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Trai Essex wears number 79.
I think he wore number 11.
The Steelers wear their throwbacks (the weird uniforms) once a season.
Pittsburgh didn't have a pro team in 1900.
The Steelers wear the black and gold uniforms at home.
