Another Western Pennsylvania native who's gonna waltz into Canton on the 1st ballot. Crazy how that area has produced as many HoF'ers(across all sports, but mostly football) as it has.


Donald was a 3 star nobody recruit in HS. Dave Wannstedt recruited him, Darell Revis, and Shady McCoy all to Pitt in like a 5-6 yr window.


Dave was a mediocre HC, but he was an incredible personell guy, all learned from the Jimmy Johnson school of scouting.

Basically two 1st ballot HOFers and likely the best at their position of their generation, and another borderline guy who was a perrenial pro bowler.

And he wasnt exactly at Alabama or Ohio State or USC doing it.

Dave knew talent when he saw it
Just couldn't coach it up. He'd be a really good FO/personnel guy IMO.

And Wannstedt is a Yinzer, also.
