The Jon Kolb Special
The
Event
That
Equalizes
Kolb was drafted by Pittsburgh out of OSU in 1969, and he played with the Steelers from 1969 to 1981. He started at tackle in 177 games and earned 4 Super Bowl rings. During his playing days, he was widely regarded as one of the strongest men in the NFL and played like the strongest one protecting Terry Bradshaw's blind side in the pass protection and open holes for the running backs Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier, and John Fuqua. He became a strength and conditioning coach with the Steelers after his playing career ended.
Jon Kolb (born August 30, 1947) is a former offensive lineman with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played for 13 seasons.
Born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, Kolb attended Owasso High School, where he earned all-state honors during his senior year. He attended Oklahoma State University where he started at center. While at OSU he was named All-Big Eight in 1967 and 1968 and was selected All-American in 1968. He currently resides in Grove City, Pennsylvania with his wife Deborah. They have three sons.
One of Jon's exercises is being incorporated in the Buzzsaw Challenge.
It requires participants to walk on their hands and feet - in a manner similar to push-ups, feet first - up and down stadium steps. It tests the pecs, the arms, shoulders and the overall fitness of the competitor. We hope to have Jon at our May 8 event!
