Pittsburgh has lost a beloved figure in Craig Wolfley, a former Steelers offensive lineman and team broadcaster, who passed away at 66. Wolfley's death has been reported by WPXI, confirming that the ex-NFL player had been quietly battling cancer.
Selected by the Steelers in the 1980 draft, Wolfley provided a decade of fortitude on the offensive line before concluding his career with the Minnesota Vikings in 1991. In his post-playing days, his voice became a staple for Steelers fans, stepping into the role with the Steelers Radio Network in 2002 and later working for 102.5 WDVE, as reported by CBS News Pittsburgh.
The community is echoing with tributes for the man who, after hanging up his cleats, continued to be interwoven with the fabric of Steelers culture. Steelers President Art Rooney II expressed his condolences, though the specific statement was not included in the reporting outlets.
Wolfley is remembered as not just a player and broadcaster but as a man with a profound impact on those around him. As stated by WPXI, he leaves behind his wife, Faith, and their six children.
