Stephan Wisiniewski is the most Pittsburgh name in this list. Tyler Palko is up there, but lacks that pop that an unspellable surname ending with -ski gives you.

Good roster. It's funny to me that all the best NFL quarterbacks have come from just three general areas of the country: The West Coast, the Gulf Coast, and Western PA. I'm sure that'll change eventually with the passage of time, but right now Canton is stuffed with guys from just these three places!

People are predisposed to big hands over there it seems and every other kid I gave a football to could huck a perfect spiral 25 yards on like their second attempt. It'd be fun to have half of the teams QBs in 30 years have a name that ends in shvili. "Wait, is it Georgishvili in Chicago and Junghashvili in Minnesota or..."
