My Take
Mike Webster is one of those names that means more in hindsight than in his playing days. A Wisconsin kid who starred at Madison, he anchored the Pittsburgh Steelers' line through their dynasty years and earned a Pro Football Hall of Fame spot in 1997. What stays with me is the tragic second act: he died in 2002 at just fifty, and his case became the entry point for the wider conversation about football and brain trauma. I can't read his entry without thinking about that legacy. He was a great center, but he also unintentionally changed how the sport reckons with its own cost.
