I met John Stallworth sometime around 1991-1992. It was a very informal meeting and even though I had admired him throughout his NFL career, I didn't even recognize him at the time. Long story short, he is one hell of a nice guy. I was young, shy and unsure of myself at the time. And recognizing that, Stallworth was soft spoken, considerate and very respectful of me.
In today's league these guys would be like having Randy Moss and Antonio Brown on the same team. They would suck up a third of the salaries, catch 250 or so per season for around 20-30 TDs, then take massive paydays. There will never be another team as freakin' loaded as the great Steel Curtain.
Stallworth and Swann just played with the Steelers for their whole career so they are really the true legendary duo. Also, remember this back in the days the Steelers had a decent Offensive Line to protect Bradshaw from the Defensive Line for the opposing team.
NIKO SAMUELS Exactly how were Swann and Stallworth better? Career Rec Yds Y/R TD Swann 336 5462 16.3 51 Stallworth 537 8723 16.2 63 Biletnikoff 589 8974 15.2 76 Branch 501 8685 17.3 67 S & S 6 pro bowls and 2x all pros B & B 10 pro bowls and 5x all pros S & S led NFL in a recieving category 1x B & B led NFL in a recieving category 8x S & S 1000 yard seasons 3 (Swann 0 his best season was only 880 yds) B & B 1000 yard seasons 3 (Branch 2) And don't try to hand me that clutch crap. Biletnikoff was the leader in post season catches, and yards when he retired. Branch broke those records and was the leader in those categories when he retired (Jerry Rice broke his records). B & B were better in the regular season and in the post season, have more catches, more yards and more tds. So just how exactly do you get that S & S are better?
sydboski IF MY BOY LESTER HAYES CAN'T GET IN THE HALL OF FAME BECAUSE OF STICKUM PLEASE DON'T EXPECT ME TO GIVE OVERRATED BILETNIKOFF ANY CREDIT ONLY HAD 1 CAREER 1,000 YARD RECEIVING SEASON & THAT HAPPENED IN THE DEFENSIVELY CHALLENGED AFL. BRANCH DESERVES TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME NO DOUBT. ALSO THE RAIDERS THREW THE BALL ON AVERAGE 20X MORE PER GAME THE STEELERS & SWANN & STALLWORTH'S CAREER NUMBERS AREN'T THAT FAR BEHIND BRANCH & BILETNIKOFF SO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING & FINALLY THEY OUTPERFORMED BRANCH & BILETNIKOFF DAMN NEAR EVERY TIME THE RAIDERS & STEELERS PLAYED HEAD TO HEAD DESPITE GETTING FEWER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PASSING GAME PLUS THEY WERE BIGGER, STRONGER, & MUCH MORE DYNAMIC & ACROBATIC & FUN TO WATCH THAN BRANCH & BILETNIKOFF. REMEMBER NUMBERS DON'T ALWAYS TELL THE TRUE STORY AS YOU SHOULD'VE ALREADY KNOWN BY NOW.
Niko Samuels 1. Why are you writing in all caps? 2. So the reason you think Hayes is not in the HOF is because of stickum? Think again. It's the voters that keep him and Branch out. They seem to have something against the Raiders. 3. Biletnikoff had 1x 1000 yard season 1x 900 yd, and 3x 800 yd seasons. Swann had 0x 1000, 0x 900 and only 2x 800 yd seasons. 4. Stallworth's stats can compare to Branch's and Biletnikoff's. Swann's pale in comparison. During Swann's career 1974 - 1982, 9 years, the Raiders threw the ball 151 more times than the Steelers. 5. Head to head all four only played against each other in 6 games 2x in 1974, 1x in 1975, 2x in 1976, and 1x in 1977. 1974 game 1 STallworth & Swann had 2 rec for 33 yds 0 tds Branch & Biletnikoff had 2 rec 32 yds 1 td. game 2 St & Sw had 4 rec - 33 yds - 1 td vs Br & Bk 12 rec - 231yds - 1 td 1975 St & Sw 4-75-1 vs Br 2-56-0 Bk did not play. 1976 game 1 St & Sw 8-120-0 vs Br & Bk 8-150-1 game 2 St & Sw 4-76-0 vs Br 3-46-0 Bk did not play 1977 St & Sw 6-140-0 vs Bk 1-22-0 Br did not play So as it looks Branch and Biletnikoff out dueled Stallworth and Swann 3 times and were outdueled only when they were not at full strength. 6. Size: Stallworth was 6'2" 191 lbs, Swann was 5'11" 180 lbs vs Biletnikoff 6'1" 190 lbs and Branch 5'11" 170. So S&S were slightly heavier. Stronger? Who knows? That is something that you cannot prove. Dynamic? Strictly opinion based. Branch was obviously the most dangerous. Acrobatic? Swann was the most acrobatic, but Stallworth was no acrobat. Cliff was slightly acrobatic as was Blietnikoff. Fun to watch? That is strictly opinion based also. Swann making a leaping catch? Branch hitting 6th gear and torching the secondary? Biletnikoff making an amazing catch? Or Stallworth doing ??? Still looks like Branch and Biltetnikoff to me.
Randy Powers Branch has the same stats as Lynn Swann only thing Swann has one more Lombardi trophy Branch three super bowls for Raiders, Fred was more clutch than Stallworth
Mar.7: Happy birthday NFL (Ret.) Lynn Swann; 4 x Super Bowl Champion, 3 x Pro Bowl, Pro Football Hall of Fame, Super Bowl MVP, 1981 NFL Man of the Year. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, Harvey Shmidlack. Blessings
@@sydboski Swann and Stall have 4 rings. All 4 players in Canton. I would have gladly traded places with anyone of them, especially Swann !!! I ll be forgotten but not them.
@@nathanieldavis5231 Why are you stuck on SuperBowls? It does not dictate who the better WR duo is. I see you conveniently did not mention the Sanders/Marino and Davis/Plunkett comparison that completely destroys your "only hardware matters" theory. You would trade places with any and all of them. As would I.
@@sydboski These debates are fun. Yes , if. I could be any athlete in any sport, it would be Swann. Plenty of them have more yards but ,doesn't making clutch receptions in SBs count? Remember SB 10? Talk to Mark Washington! Stallworth ,come on man be serious. B B we're great ,they played for , what 1000 years. Naturally better stats than Swann who played for 8. Took Branch a while to gain traction ,FB a great receiver no doubt, but SS were better athletes. Branch had the speed over all of them.
I grew up in Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers in the 1970s and they really were great. I remember the terrible towels all the chanting from the stands and to Win 4 Super Bowls in 6 years, seem like they would never lose. We used to have a saying, one for the thumb in 81. Meaning one more Super Bowl ring
Everyone forgets The Steelers tight end Cunningham that was a force to be covered that gave these receivers man coverage. Franco and Rockey. They could not cover them all. The Raiders were their best competition in that day.Great to have A tv and be able to watch them back then.
Seriously,Cunningham was always injured and to say that was a big part of these hall of famers is beyond ridiculous.Grossman had a bigger impact than Benny.
Bradshaw had the accuracy, he had the arm to get it downfield and spot on into the receivers arms. They all took a lot of punishment much more than the quarterbacks and WRs of today. Noone were better than Stallworth and Swann in the backfield. Best WRs of all time. They were all awesome
I grew up near Cleveland, but my Pop never missed a Steeler game. I knew more about the Steel Curtain than any 10 year old girl should have. Boy, what a team that was. Swann looked like Baryshnikov to me.
The Greatest Widereciever combo in history , what a joy when I was a kid to watch the 70 Pittsburgh Steelers,the greatest team of alltime,9 hall of gamers. Swann could have played longer except for head hits scum bag raiders that were never quite good enough . STEELERS BEEN TOP TEAM 70S,90S,2000 TO PRESENT. BEFORE BRADY PATRIOTS WERE NOTHING.
Ron Chess COWBOYS WERE THE TEAM OF 90'S 49ERS TEAM OF 80'S PATRIOTS TEAM OF 2000'S & 2010'S STEELERS TEAM OF 70'S & PACKERS TEAM OF 60'S GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT & TAKE YOUR EMOTIONS & BIASES OUT OF THIS EQUATION BUDDY BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING YOURSELF A COMPLETE DISSERVICE.

The Catch At 2:45 Never Gets Old, Looks Like A Simple Catch But The Way His Body Was And The Way He Got Both Feet Down❗My Goodness What Concentration 🤩
Always Always they are very beautifully catchers! Today, in NFL players will cannot copy like this, never happe again. Because of best decade 1970s only is the Pittsburgh steelers be alone.
Be a Raiders Fan in PA is tough.. but Stallworth & Swan were Amazing too Watch..& Bradshaw Always Always Played GREAT In the Big Games..If U double One the Other would Kill U.! If Stallworth isn’t in the H.O.F. Boy he should be.. whn he played U Can’t Name 5 Better WRs...
Yeah Joe Montana and Two tandem if different parts of his 49ercareer. Joe had Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon in the beginning and then Jerry Rice and John Taylor later in his 49er career.
They were the greastest tandem of all time and it says so in Canton because they are both in the hall of fame. I think Stallworth is the best Steelers Reciever of all time i think he is better then both Lynn Swann and Hines Ward, he never got the attention that either one got and was still great
How'd those two do to make the game winning play to win or change the momentum ultimately in their teams favor in post season ,especially consistently like Swann and Stalworth ? There were no listless ,wasted stats mongering when the opposing team was in prevent defense ,protecting a lead in post season with Swann and Stalworth , they put up excellent performance at all stages of a post season contests when bradshaw called their numbers in post season , Chris Carter himself stated Randy Moss biggest problem.was he had a quick quit button when things weren't going his way ,stopped running his route tree ,no energy, pouting ,when the ball wasn't coming his way ,because defenses tailored it's coverages towards him ,selfish player who sucked the air out of a room whenever he felt he wasn't the focal point of a offense , Carter's vice was not having the authentic speed to routinely beat coverages deep., both ,Carter and Moss are deserving hofers ,but not a better tandem then Swann and Stalworth . Great players transcended impact supercede their extraordinary stats ,very good players impact and stats are equal ,good players stats are better then actual impact ,Swann and Stalworth were the first mentioned category in SB 's .
Lonny Bustamante Jerry Rice is the Goat now if Tim Brown has The Goat Montana instead of the 100 no name quarterback s he Tim Brown would be the Goat . Cliff Branch has the same stats as Lynn Swann
@@charlesm7589 Stats can be ,I say ,can be the sum of the parts , but it is the whole that can put a player in the HOF. Lynn s clutch receptions ,his graceful style , the team, Stallworth, Bradshaw, and the defense and destiny all helped put him in Canton. Deservedly so ! My all time favorite WR.
@@nathanieldavis5231 I'm not saying Swann wasn't all that you say. I loved watching him as a kid. Another one like him was Gene Washington in San Francisco. I'm fine with Swann in Canton. I realized something else recently. My son is playing TE in H.S. now. The gloves they have now are SO incredibly sticky! Gives you more respect for the guys catching balls in the 60s and 70s.
Niko Samuels The Steelers have won more pkayoff games and been to more conference championships games than any team my point ,Mr Clueless is they have been competitive different decades fifferent players thats why they have 27 players in Canton have their own wing ever been there Mr.Clueless Niko,gave still won more Super Bowls than any team .6 been to 8 .It was the Immaculate Ripoff it was a catch by coaches players around league Patriots defense very average imagine if Steelers would have had Antonio Brown in 4th quarter.Patriots have had assitance 4times this year in last two minutes replay in New York Niko you made my point go take picture.
You might say the 3 greatest, because Jim Smith was just as good as stallworth and swann, you just got to watch Smith in action. I could not understand why the steelers let him go, but it probably was contract and 💰. The steelers organization was cheap, stallworth had that problem with the team. The real reason the 80s teams didn't come through is chuck noll had his favorites. And trust me it hurt the teams of the 80s. Letting Jim Smith Theo Bell Greg Hawthorne go and bring in weggie Thompson Greg garrity Paul skansi, what was this organization think about. It was the same on defense. 93 keith Willis 64 Edmonds Nelson 92 keith Gary was going to be the new steel curtain but again noll favorite 65 tom Beasley 67 Dunn 95 goodman was not going to cut it. The steelers had to much talent and noll kept his most talented players on the bench because of his favoritism and I hope you know what I mean.
From 1975-1978, Lynn Swann was the best receiver in the NFL and he only played 8 1/2 seasons. Branch was never considered the best receiver at any stage of his career and I believe that he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Hello they played longer. Had Swannie played that long he would have had comparable numbers. All his peers and protégés thought he was the man . Randy Moss said so , that's enough for me.
Swann is the most Overrated WR in NFL history He wasn't even the best WR in his own era 5,000 reception yards & 50 TD catches in 8 years with Pittsburgh and he was a hall of fame WR 2 catches and he's the most valuable player of SBX?! Get out of here
Are you a Martian? Because this is Earth , and here , Swannie and Johnny were just the best. Does 4 rings mean anything on Mars? No boring stats , please , HOF players must be judged by their particular unique skills. Respectable during season ,great in post season, Canton Express. You re a football fan , everybody in Canton deserves to be there.
Oh ok so you don't like Lynn Swann and that's fine. He is still one of greatest WRs and absolutely should be in the hall of fame and You are very entitled to your opinion

Who wouldn't want to be a Steelers fan after watching these amazing wide receivers catch these passes greatest ever!!!!!!!
When I WATCH this STEELER HIGHLIGHT FILM, the current situation is ALRIGHT WITH ME!!!! STEELER FAN FOR LIFE!!!!
Two of the best receivers to ever do it.
can't help but smile when you watch this
A great time to be a kid in Pittsburgh back in the Dynasty-era! Swann & Stallworth were my favorites. GOAT!!!!
Amen. Those were the days.
Great time and place in football land !!!
How time flies!
You should have seen them at spring training in Latrobe, I grew up there!!!
It was incredible!!!
Make a grown man cry -- love it!
When you're so good men cry , man you are the A GAME !
A great duel. Steelers had the quarterback, receivers, running backs, and steel curtain defense a dynasty in the 70's.
They were a great duo. The greatest in fact.
🥂
Stallworth and Swann just played with the Steelers for their whole career so they are really the true legendary duo. Also, remember this back in the days the Steelers had a decent Offensive Line to protect Bradshaw from the Defensive Line for the opposing team.
The Steel Curtain Defense too
True, each offensive lineman benched over 500pds! Pretty impressive!
Drew Pearson & Tony Hill, Rice & Taylor are honorable mentions. But THIS is the greatest duo of all times
What about Branch and Biletnikoff??
yep they the first pair of wide receiver to win 4 superbowls .
anyone having issues with that has issues themselves
What about Jerry Rice and anybody else he was playing with. Doesn’t matter who.

Yeah the 1970's did have some of the best wideout to suit up,i grew up in70s i watched alot of football grewing up,always like the steelers.
i love the block terry bradshaw did
No matter how you look at it they absolutely needed Terry Bradshaw's arm power. The man had a freakin gun.
Ya it took wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long for Stallworth to go to Canton
Terrific video Harvey.
no sticky gloves, no tons of stickum....just real talent back when it mattered.
Imagine if stallworth never had so many missed games due to injuries
Lots of guys fall in that category. Marcus DuPree?

As a youngster l watched in horror everytime Bradshaw threw to these two against the Cowboys.
We just beat you guys !
They were the greastest tandem of all time and it says so in Canton because they are both in the hall of fame. I think Stallworth is the best Steelers Reciever of all time i think he is better then both Lynn Swann and Hines Ward, he never got the attention that either one got and was still great
5:20 Western Prairies by Keith Mansfield
Thank you Mike Webster
As a Steelers fan I will have to say Fouts had some good ones with Wes Chandler and Charlie Joiner and Marino with Duper and Clayton
After S n S really liked Clayton but not Miami.
Can't forget John Jefferson on those Air Coryell teams
Don't waste your time trying to compare any pair of receivers to them
Was locked up with stallworth his great nephew
Was Bradshaw @ any point in his career ever considered the GOAT 🐐 like Montana, Elway or Brady❓️
They always try to compare the forty niners to the Steelers but you can't
The Steelers need to retire numbers “88” and “82” out of respect to Swann and Stallworth.
Carter and Moss!
I can't argue with that, talent-wise. Moss is the GOAT and Carter a legit HOFer. I think some people place to much weight on championships.
How'd those two do to make the game winning play to win or change the momentum ultimately in their teams favor in post season ,especially consistently like Swann and Stalworth ?

People say jerry rice is the greatest wide receiver they are are wrong greatest wide receivers ever stalworth and swann.
Lonny Bustamante Jerry Rice is the Goat now if Tim Brown has The Goat Montana instead of the 100 no name quarterback s he Tim Brown would be the Goat . Cliff Branch has the same stats as Lynn Swann
Cliff Branch played 5 years longer than Swann.
They certainly made Bradshaw look good...
Bradshaw was good, he got the ball to them with that canon of his!👍
Yea, Bradshaw was overrated garbage
Anything terry threw up they could catch it ,a wide out best friend,qb/
Who gave this a thumbs down.
Cowbow & Raider fans probably👍✌
@@kennyhuskisson2684yep!
Hey Niko hows those Patriots and that 6th Super Bowl to tie my overrated Steelers?????
Bradshaw to Swann or Stallworth = WINS!!!! anything else is fantasy football kiddie shit
John Taylor and Jerry Rice?
The Marks Brothers. Loved those guys ,hate the fish, bleed black and gold. Clayton n Duper after S&S my favorite.
@@nathanieldavis5231 liked Swan but his career numbers aren't that impressive among other HOF receivers. But I guess a a duo they were very effective.
@@charlesm7589 Stats can be ,I say ,can be the sum of the parts , but it is the whole that can put a player in the HOF. Lynn s clutch receptions ,his graceful style , the team, Stallworth, Bradshaw, and the defense and destiny all helped put him in Canton. Deservedly so ! My all time favorite WR.
@@nathanieldavis5231 I'm not saying Swann wasn't all that you say. I loved watching him as a kid. Another one like him was Gene Washington in San Francisco. I'm fine with Swann in Canton.
I realized something else recently. My son is playing TE in H.S. now. The gloves they have now are SO incredibly sticky!
Gives you more respect for the guys catching balls in the 60s and 70s.
@@charlesm7589 Shades of Lester the Molester!!! That was a great team , 80 Raiders. Best to your son.
once again Bradshaw and ben was gunslangers both had deep ball threats pickett just dont have this antonio lynn was wr deep ball threats
TERRY BRASHOW BETTER THEN PATRIK MAHOMES . HI FROM MEXICO
BLACK and YELLOW KILLED THOSE FELLOWS,
1. STEELERS 6 of 8,
2. PATRIOTS 6 of 10
3. 49's 5 of 6
4. COWBOYS 5 of 8
This 4 TEAMS have 22 out of 53
Niko Samuels The Steelers have won more pkayoff games and been to more conference championships games than any team my point ,Mr Clueless is they have been competitive different decades fifferent players thats why they have 27 players in Canton have their own wing ever been there Mr.Clueless Niko,gave still won more Super Bowls than any team .6 been to 8 .It was the Immaculate Ripoff it was a catch by coaches players around league Patriots defense very average imagine if Steelers would have had Antonio Brown in 4th quarter.Patriots have had assitance 4times this year in last two minutes replay in New York Niko you made my point go take picture.
Ron Chess Cry me a river buddy & no one cares about your love affair with the overrated Pittsburgh Steelers.
@@nikosuavesworldofsportsmusic overrated?
Monk and Clark
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
TommyC503 what’s so immaturely funny
Geo Plays you and your opinion
TommyC503 i bet you won’t say that in my face white boy
TommyC503 and you don’t know football cat boy
You might say the 3 greatest, because Jim Smith was just as good as stallworth and swann, you just got to watch Smith in action. I could not understand why the steelers let him go, but it probably was contract and 💰. The steelers organization was cheap, stallworth had that problem with the team. The real reason the 80s teams didn't come through is chuck noll had his favorites. And trust me it hurt the teams of the 80s. Letting Jim Smith Theo Bell Greg Hawthorne go and bring in weggie Thompson Greg garrity Paul skansi, what was this organization think about. It was the same on defense. 93 keith Willis 64 Edmonds Nelson 92 keith Gary was going to be the new steel curtain but again noll favorite 65 tom Beasley 67 Dunn 95 goodman was not going to cut it. The steelers had to much talent and noll kept his most talented players on the bench because of his favoritism and I hope you know what I mean.
Football Realist He fared OK
Jim Smith would have been a Star anywhere else
Over rated Lynn swan stats are no way near Oakland Raiders Clifford Branch numbers fred B has better stats over swan
Cliff Branch and Bob Hayes were similarly one-dimensional. But they were damned good at the fly pattern!
From 1975-1978, Lynn Swann was the best receiver in the NFL and he only played 8 1/2 seasons. Branch was never considered the best receiver at any stage of his career and I believe that he should be in the Hall of Fame.
Lynn swann overrated ?? Where do u guys come from....
@@maddcapper4548 yeah capper , what meds are they on ?
Hello they played longer. Had Swannie played that long he would have had comparable numbers. All his peers and protégés thought he was the man . Randy Moss said so , that's enough for me.
Oakland Raiders was a much better team over Steelers 70s and 80s
70's ABSOLUTELY NOT 80's OBVIOUSLY
How do you explain Pittsburgh's championships?
Do you understand the meaning of dynasty lol !
@@twainalston4553 I think not
Huh ????? You know you're certifiable.
Swann is the most Overrated WR in NFL history
He wasn't even the best WR in his own era
5,000 reception yards & 50 TD catches in 8 years with Pittsburgh and he was a hall of fame WR
2 catches and he's the most valuable player of SBX?!
Get out of here
Are you a Martian? Because this is Earth , and here , Swannie and Johnny were just the best. Does 4 rings mean anything on Mars? No boring stats , please , HOF players must be judged by their particular unique skills. Respectable during season ,great in post season, Canton Express. You re a football fan , everybody in Canton deserves to be there.
Oh ok so you don't like Lynn Swann and that's fine. He is still one of greatest WRs and absolutely should be in the hall of fame and You are very entitled to your opinion
