The Afternoon Killer

Rest in peace, Elbie Nickel. For you kids out there, Elbie Nickel was the Steelers' all-time record holder for passes caught in a season, a record he held from 1953-69. He is their all-time leader with 329 catches by a tight end, a mark Heath Miller will surpass only if he plays for 30 years.

Unlike Elbie Nickel, former Steeler WR Troy Edwards didn't die. He's actually playing in the Arena league, which means we'll probably see a lot of him on ESPN.
