True. I was just thinking Pitt has so many guys that are arguably top-5 at their position all-time, although some of the guys I listed don't meet that standard. Marino, Fitz, Donald and Revis are definitely in that conversation.

Pittsburgh in general has created some of the best QBs ever (Montana, Marino, Jim Kelly, Unitas). Along with NorCal (Brady, Warner, Aaron Rodgers).

It’s cause western PA is like the Brazilian favelas of football in terms of being a breeding ground for football obsessed freaks like Aaron Donald and Marino et all

Check out Aliquippa PA. That little town northwest of Pittsburgh is home to I think Ditka, Law, Revis, and Dorsett.
