After being chosen in the Third Round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1994, Jason Gildon was used mostly on Special Teams in his first two seasons. It was not until Greg Lloyd Sr. went down to injury in 1997 where the Oklahoma State Cowboy became a starting Linebacker.
Gildon played at the Left Outside position, a role he had until he left the Steelers for a final year in Jacksonville in 2004. Gildon had an 11-Sack year in 1998, and the popular Linebacker would begin a three-year Pro Bowl streak in 2000. In the first two of those three seasons, Gildon broke the dozen mark in Sacks, and he was in the top-nine in that stat and Tackles for Loss.
With the Steelers, Gildon would accumulate 77.0 Sacks.
