When the Steelers selected Greene as the 4th overall pick in the 1969 NFL Draft, the franchise had never won a championship. But that pick changed football forever. Under head coach Chuck Noll, Greene became the emotional core of a team that would capture four Super Bowl titles in six years — an achievement unmatched in its era.
Fierce on the field and humble off it, Greene was known for his explosive power, relentless motor, and burning pride. But behind the fury of “Mean Joe” was a man of deep heart, one who lifted teammates, inspired fans, and embodied what it meant to wear black and gold.
“When we drafted Joe Greene,” Chuck Noll once said, “the Pittsburgh Steelers stopped being a joke — and started being champions.”
More Than a Player — A Symbol
Greene was 10-time Pro Bowler, 4-time Super Bowl Champion, and 2-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. His No. 75 jersey was retired — one of only three in team history — and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987.
