Mike Wagner, who played 10 seasons with the Steelers and recorded 36 interceptions, died at 76. He was a starter on the team’s four Super Bowl‑winning squads in the 1970s and made game‑sealing interceptions in Super Bowls IX and X.
The franchise released a statement saying Wagner was a “tremendous player” and “integral part of some of the most successful teams in Pittsburgh history.” Steelers owner Art Rooney II praised his toughness, consistency, and team‑first mentality.
