The longest standing Steelers individual player and team records

1942 & 1946 Bill Dudley

The Steelers drafted rookie sensation and future Hall of Fame inductee Bill Dudley. He went on to lead the NFL in rushing with 696 yards on 162 attempts. After serving in World War II, he came back to the Steelers in 1945, played sparingly, then roared back to lead the NFL again in 1946 with 604 yards on 146 attempts. No other Pittsburgh Steelers has led the NFL in rushing since.

In addition to his honor of being the last Steeler to lead the NFL in rushing yards Dudley also holds one Steelers single-season record in the defensive category. He set the Steelers single-season record for the most interception return yards. In 1946 Dudley ran back interceptions for 242 total yards. This record still stands after 75 seasons.

38 Seasons

Franco Harris was a sensation when the Steelers drafted him from Penn State. He helped lead Pittsburgh to four Superbowl titles and nearly broke Jim Brown’s all-time rushing yardage record by the time he retired. He holds four Steelers club records the most career touchdowns 100, the most rushing attempts in a career at 2881, the most rushing touchdowns at 91, and the most yards from scrimmage 14,232.

44 Seasons

Not a record you would like to see a Steelers player break anytime soon; however, Bobby Walden, Steelers punter over ten seasons from 1968-1977 to this day, holds the career record for the most punts in a career at 716.
