Super Bowl champion and Pittsburgh Steelers legend Rocky Bleier sits down with Rob King and Jay Caufield for an unforgettable conversation. From his small-town upbringing, to captaining Notre Dame in the famous “Game of the Century” against Michigan State, to being drafted by the Steelers—and then drafted by the U.S. Army—Bleier’s story is one of resilience, service, and determination.


Rocky shares his experience serving in Vietnam, where he earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, and the long road back to the NFL after life-threatening injuries. Against all odds, he returned to the field, helping lead the Steelers dynasty to four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s.
