​The Pittsburgh Steelers’ countdown to kickoff for the 2026 NFL regular season is moving at full speed, with fans set to wait just 67 more days until the Steel City brand of football returns when the Steelers host the Atlanta Falcons on September 13. In keeping with the countdown theme, Steelers Wire takes a closer look at the history of the No. 67 jersey and weighs which player wore it with the greatest distinction.
Currently, Brock Hoffman wears No. 67 for the Steelers. A versatile offensive lineman who can handle both guard and center duties, Hoffman brings valuable flexibility to a Steelers lineup under the leadership of Mike Tomlin in 2026. Hoffman joined the Steelers in 2026 and is part of a lineage of players to bear that number, alongside names such as B.J. Finney (2026–2021) and a notable earlier era featuring Kimo Von Oelhoffen (2000–2005) and Shar Pourdanesh (1999). Hoffman’s presence adds depth and adaptability to a frontline unit tasked with protecting the quarterback and paving the way for the running game as the team prepares for another competitive season.
When it comes to the No. 67 jersey, one name stands above the rest in Steelers lore: defensive lineman Gary Dunn. Drafted by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 1976 NFL Draft, Dunn appeared in 146 games and started 105 from 1976 through 1987. His impact extended beyond the stat sheet; Dunn earned Second-Team All-Pro honors from NEA in 1984 and never wavered in his consistency or work ethic. His steady play helped anchor the Steelers’ defense during an era that produced two Super Bowl titles (XIII and XIV), making him widely regarded as the finest No. 67 in team history.
