Jerome Bettis discloses why he came back for a final season that ended with a Super Bowl victory, all-time Steelers & the importance of team chemistry

It's a super-sized Super Bowl week edition of All Things Covered! Bryant McFadden welcomes former teammate and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Jerome Bettis, to discuss Super Bowl XL memories, the famous card games the Steelers had, Pittsburgh's current situation and much more. Jerome first details what led him to pick the Steelers over the Oilers when the Rams gave him a choice of trade destinations. We then hear the real reason why JB decided to return to the NFL for one final season in 2005 after serious pondering retirement. That decision allowed him to become a Super Bowl champion the following season. The Bus shares his mentality towards team-building and recalls some epic card games those Pittsburgh teams were known for. The guys continue to chat about Super Bowl 40, exploring Willie Parker's run and Bill Cowher's coaching style. Jerome is honest about the current state of Steelers and what they need to fix heading into next season and beyond. Ben Roethlisberger is likely sticking around, but how about JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner? Superlatives round out the show as we throw out the impossible: 'Who is on the Mount Rushmore of All-Time Steelers?' There are some tremendous names that had to be left off.
