He is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a four-time Super Bowl champion.

Melvin Cornell Blount (born April 10, 1948 in Vidalia, Georgia) was a five-time All Pro-Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is considered one of the greatest defensive backs to ever play in the NFL. His physical style of play made him one of the most feared defensive backs in the game at a time when the pass interference rule had not been entirely implemented.

Jack Raphael Ham, Jr. (born December 23, 1948 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania) is a former American Football linebacker who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In Ham's three years as a starting linebacker, Penn State had records of 11-0, 11-0, 7-3. In his senior year, 1970, he was co-captain, had 91 tackles and four interceptions, and was an All-American. He had 251 career tackles, 143 unassisted. He blocked three punts in 1968, setting a school record that was not tied until 1989. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990
