Fans only need to wait 10 more days until the Steel City brand of football returns when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Atlanta Falcons on September 13. In the spirit of the countdown to kickoff, we'll take a look at the most recent and best players to ever wear No. 10.

Best No. 10 in Steelers history: QB Kordell "Slash" Stewart
Another countdown to kickoff brings us to the greatest No. 10 wearer in franchise history: quarterback Kordell Stewart.
Stewart, selected by Pittsburgh with the 60th overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft, was given the nickname "Slash" thanks to his ability to play a variety of positions, including quarterback, running back, wide
receiver, kick returner, and even punter.
After being used primarily as a pass catcher and rusher during his first two seasons, Stewart was finally named the starting quarterback in 1997, leading Pittsburgh to an 11-5 record and becoming the first quarterback in franchise history to throw for 20 touchdowns while also rushing for 10 in a single season.
Stewart finished his eight-year Steelers career with 14,746 passing yards and 70 passing touchdowns—the third-most all-time by a Steeler, behind only legends Terry Bradshaw and Ben Roethlisberger. He also added 2,561 rushing yards and is tied for the third-most rushing touchdowns in franchise history with 35.
Stewart, a one-time Pro Bowler, is more than deserving of being named the greatest Steeler to ever wear No. 10.
