Levon Kirkland played in all 16 Games in his 1992 rookie season, but he was mostly in Special Teams.  In his second year in the National Football League, he became a starter at Left Inside Linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he held that job until he was surprisingly waived in 2000.

Heath Miller was an All-American Tight End at Virginia, and his work as a Cavalier resulted in him being a First Round Pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mike Wagner was drafted in the 11^thRound in 1971 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, where the team looked at him as a potential Wide Receiver.  They moved the product of Western Illinois to Safety, and it seemed to be the correct decision.
