Former Steelers All-Pro Carlton Haselrig dies at 54

As I understand it, he's the reason Division II and III champions don't wrestle in the NCAA Division I tournament anymore.

Here is a bit more on Haselrig.

Wrestled him 6 times over a three-year span in college. Baddest SOB I ever stepped on the mat against and that includes UFC champ Mark Coleman and Olympian Bill Scherr.
Great talent with a lot of problems.
RIP big guy.

My law school roommate wrestled him and said he was impossibly strong.

I didn't read the story, though appreciate smallpotatoes posting it.

I'm just reminded of Terry Long insofar as Steelers' O-lineman dying so young.

Webster might have been worse.
