Aaron Smith on his football career and more | Steelers Time Machine

[@royalrelle1484]

True Football Fans know how good this Man was! 🔥 🏈

[@eric_day84]

One of the most underrated players in NFL history. That D-Line of Aaron, Hampton, Keisel and Kimo was so dominate. The edge rushers always get the glory but I think every single one of them would tell you that it all started with whatever three guys were doing majority of the dirty work. I'm not trying to take away from those edge guys, because it does take a great pass rusher to the damage that they did, but those D-Lineman were as important to that defense that generated all those sacks. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I would love to see Aaron in the NFL HOF some day.

[@timking-iy9jw]

Kimo!! Haven't heard that one in a while. Big fan. Anyone who knows football knows that line was the reason that "D" was what it was. The difference in yards allowed with/without Smith on the field was ridiculous...for his whole career. Best true 3-4 lineman ever. Be surprised if NFL ever sees lineman like him, or "Big Snack" again.

[@nicktaylor1508]

Aaron was such a beast. Kind of like Cam where the stat line doesn't jump out at you but the impact is immeasurable. He's one of my favorite low key Steelers. (Troy is all time #1)

[@jeffzaborowski6879]

100% Co-signed. Not that it's needed it's just how I feel and I miss those Defenses and coach Dad with them all

[@TheStrategos392]

Best 3-4 DE in NFL history. Good at rushing the passer too. Great player.#Steelcurtain

[@Alan_Page]

Dick LeBeau actually said that, which is a pretty credible source.

[@TheStrategos392]

@@Alan_Page I remember once when the Steelers were going to play the Patriots, Coach Belichick in the press conference during the week before the game said the same thing about him. I’ll never forget that. High praise from a great coach.

[@vinylreveals8753]

Consistently brilliant - one of, if not the most underrated Steelers of all-time. Thank you Aaron for all you put out there on the grass.

[@frankzeigafuse7246]

Thanks Aaron, for putting in the humble work!

[@keithkristoff9419]

Aaron was a Hammer!

[@Wigster44]

One of the greatest Steelers ever!

[@jamy8575]

This GUY was a STEEL'R to the bone.

[@alexjay0129]

This was cool. I think all young guys should listen to this. He bought into the team’s objectives, didn’t take it personal,played his role and laid it all on the line for the squad. Respect 🖤💛

[@djj3357]

Absolute stud!!! 💯 He is one of the most underrated players of his era!!

[@OmarZuniga]

Well deserved Aaron! It was always so fun to watch you play and it was an honor to have shared the field with you in College. Oh and we can't forget those back to back National Championships!

[@BobDowneyIII]

One of my favorite Steelers ever. Embodiment of Pittsburgh mindset.

[@billynguyen710]

The definition of a quintessential Steeler.. especially from the 2000s

[@johnbaker1263]

Love watching Aaron play football.

[@STVG71]

Aaron Smith was the man during his time with the Steelers.

[@robertrohde4579]

I remember telling my friend who graduated from Northern Colorado congrats on Arron Smith getting drafted by my favorite team! Funny thing is he grew up near Cincinatti and he was a Bengals and Broncos fan. I saw Aaron play at Northern Colorado as I lived in Greeley for many years back then.

[@jamescallender9451]

I wear his jersey every game day.... by far the most underrated 3-4 Defensive end.

[@MrNoverlee]

Aaron Smith was a beast on the field

[@tiemann55]

THE MOST UNDERRATED STEELER OF ALL TIME!!!

[@eric_day84]

He was definitely underrated. Rarely, if never, gets talked about amongst the elite D-Lineman of that time and majority of NFL fans probably don't know who he is or forgot about him, which makes him underrated.

[@tiemann55]

@@eric_day84 exactly what I was saying before this clown decided to say some stupid shit . Dude is an idiot . Nobody outside of Pitt even knew who he was , really only true fans know him

[@davidlaveck648]

Great video and background on the great Aaron Smith, Steelers Legend!!! #91

[@charlesjsaunders6233]

A beast very underrated

[@johnathanw2565]

Was always one of my favorite players growing up... SO cool...and well deserved.. I remember us talking about (kinda like TJ) whenever Aaron was hurt the team would really miss him but when he was playing, man we could beat anyone..

[@jaredgreen502]

I'm hoping Logan Lee can mold his game after Aaron Smith & Bret Kiesel. So awesome Aaron made the Hall of Honor! Theses highlight are great & love the interview. Echos what Casey Hampton said in his interview about them being true 3-4 defense.

[@jasonbodine6033]

Easily one of the most underrated players in Steelers history, and an underrated NFL D-linemen in general. I used to call him “the unsung hero”. His is one of the jerseys that I am proud to have and wear.

[@jeffmcbride469]

Love this, I still live in Greeley and watched Aaron play in college.

[@gilbogilbo79]

Winning players..we had alot of these back then.

[@nickjackman3826]

The 2005-2012 Steelers defense deserve so much more love. Obviously the 70's produced more but these men were special

[@stevenorsini2276]

Great player

[@101snapper]

Aaron Smith was the wall and a disruptor - he was the glue of that defense!

[@caboluna2927]

One of the best All-Time Steelers. I really mean that. If he had the body to match his heart he would have been a HOF player.

[@shannoncassidy4423]

Unsung hero of the defense

[@SmittyD33]

HereWeGo

[@bw5470]

Very underrated he anchored the run defense

[@dontworryaboutit8230]

The best 3-4 D-End of all time. No argument

[@davecolvin310]

He had a lot of big plays in the playoffs.but the chemistry between him and the others was dynamic.

[@zbrix2432]

91 💪🏽

[@jayb-wickorsnow5956]

Please tell me he is in the Hall of Honor. He is one of my GOAT d-linemen, he and Casey are the reasons we consistently had the best Run Defence. Crazy, he doesnt get the love he deserves.

[@brendanbugala8774]

AARON SMITH BAY BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steelerfaninperu]

Aaron Smith, you define "salt of the earth." The fact you sometimes doubt your greatness is what made you so great. Just a classic "bring your lunchpail to work" mofo that this city will eat up. I'll never forget how often they'd cite the Rushing YPG against the Steelers Defense with and without Aaron Smith. The difference was jaw dropping. When you were on the field, I would literally laugh when teams tried to run the football. And if you know, you know. That 3-4 DL is everything. 3 guys gotta handle 5 and win. Maybe 4 if you trick one. And them boys are big. Respect.

[@edwardbright9434]

Yes he ws

[@ralphfurley123]

I have Aaron Smith in my ALL-TIME Steeler Team. The team will play 3-4 Defense and will consist of the following players: NT - Casey Hampton DE - Mean Joe Greene DE - Aaron Smith LOLB - TJ Watt ROLB - James Harrison MLB - Jack Lambert MLB - Jack Ham RCB - Mel Blount LCB - Rod Woodson SS - Troy Polamalu FS - Carnel Lake ☮️🖖🏽

[@brianreid4567]

That was one ☝️ nasty 😷 dline

[@tagon70]

If Aaron plays in the superbowl against the packers..We win!!! I know

[@georgecoull1883]

Modern Steel curtain Kiesel Hampton Smith

[@nickrowat4461]

Loved that d-line

[@chuckdog7901]

Coach Smeltzer never begged anyone to stay on the team. He had an open door policy. It worked both ways in or out. There was a starting QB who left the team to go box. Coach told him where to turn in his equipment. Smith was good but not great.

[@timking-iy9jw]

Smith & Hampton are in the game?..... just leave your RB at home folks.

[@joenobody2580]

First

[@JamesHardy-yi1ph]

Amazing player, although many of the younger dudes prolly don't remember him. This is the guy Stephon Tuitt failed to live up to.
