51ST YEAR AT SAINT VINCENTCOLLEGE

The Steelers celebrated their 51st Training Camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., this summer. Pittsburgh has called Saint Vin-cent College its “summer home” since 1966. Through their first three de-cades in the NFL, the Steelers held their training camps at a variety of locations, as far east as New England and as far west as Wisconsin. In 1966, for the third straight summer, training camp for the Steelers was at the University of Rhode Island.

The team was there through the fi rst four weeks of a fi ve-game preseason schedule. Then, after a loss in Green Bay to Vince Lombardi’s Packers, Coach Bill Austin wanted the team closer to Pittsburgh because the 1966 regular season was due to open with a home game against the New York Giants on Sept. 11. With no practice fi elds of their own at the time, the Steelers turned to Saint Vincent College. The team arrived in Latrobe on Aug. 29 and spent a couple of weeks on campus going through fi nal preparations for the 1966 regular season. In 1967, the Steelers conducted their entire training camp at Saint Vincent College.

GREENE AND DUNGY TO THE HALL OF FAME

Former Steelers linebacker Kevin Greene, and safety and de-fensive coordinator Tony Dungy were elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2016, and were enshrined on Saturday, August 6, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Greene played in 228 games over the course of 15 seasons for the Los Angeles Rams (1985-92), the Pittsburgh Steelers (1993-95), the Carolina Panthers (1996, 1998-99) and the San Francisco 49ers (1997). He was a three-time fi rst-team All-Pro (1989, 1994 and 1996) and a fi ve-time Pro Bowler (1989, 1994-96 and 1998). Greene ranks third all-time in NFL history with 160.0 sacks. He recorded double-digit sacks in a single season 10 times, and he led the NFL in sacks twice (1994 and 1996). He was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s. As a member of the Steelers, Greene recorded 35.5 sacks in three seasons. His 35.5 sacks in a three-year span are the second-most sacks in any three-year span in Steelers’ history. Dungy played for the Steelers from 1977-78, and was a member of the team’s Super Bowl XXIII team. He returned to Pittsburgh in 1981 as the team’s defensive backs coach, before being elevated to defensive coordinator in 1984. At the time, he was the NFL’s youngest defensive coordinator.

CAMPING OUTThe Steelers concluded their 51st consecutive year of presea-

son training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. Pittsburgh’s 51-year tenure at the college is tied with the Minnesota Vikings (Mankato, Minn.), for second in the NFL for training camp longevity. Only the Green Pay Packers, who have held their preseason camp at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisc., have maintained a longer summer home for 59 years.

TIMMONS ON THE SACK CHARTLB Lawrence Timmons increased his 2015 sack total to 5.0 in

Week 17, after a 1.5 sack performance at Cleveland, increasing his career total to 33.0 quarterback sacks. Timmons’ 33.0 quarterback sacks are the ninth-most by a Steeler since sacks became an offi cial statistic in 1982:

• Split a sack with LB Lawrence Timmons in the fi rst quarter of Week 17’s game at Cleveland, increasing his 2015 total to 3.5, and fi nished with seven tackles (3 solo).

ROOKIE DUPREELB Bud Dupree - the team’s fi rst round selection in the 2015

NFL Draft - provided the defensive unit with 26 tackles (17 solo) and 4.0 sacks in his rookie season. He registered a sack in four games in 2015 (Weeks 1-2, 5 and 8). Dupree made his fi rst career start in Week 12 at Seattle and started fi ve of the team’s fi nal six games in 2015. He fi nished his rookie campaign with 4.0 sacks in 2015 - tying him for fi fth among 2015 NFL rookies:

Six Other Rookies Tied 4.0

Dupree’s 4.0 sacks tied him with LaMarr Woodley (2007) as the third-most by a Steelers rookie/fi rst-year player since 1982 when sacks became an offi cial statistic:

STEELERS ROOKIE SACK LEADERS SINCE 1982 Rk. STEELER ROOKIE, YEAR SACKS 1. Kendrell Bell, 2001 9.0 2. Ketih Gary, 1983 7.5 T3. Bud Dupree, 2015 4.0

LaMarr Woodley, 2007 4.0

Dupree recorded a quarterback takedown in two consecutive games - Weeks 1-2 in 2015 - becoming the fi rst NFL player since 2013 (Barkevious Mingo) to post at least one sack in each of his fi rst two NFL games. He joined Kenny Davidson (1990) and Keith Gary (1983) as the only players in team history to produce a quarterback takedown in each of their fi rst two career games with the Steelers.
