Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. At 6' 6", 291 pounds and with a shaggy beard and a penchant for flannel, Steelers right tackle Justin Strzelczyk looks like your typical mean, rugged, Harley-riding NFL blocker. And that's exactly what he is. The 293rd pick in the 1990 draft, Strzelczyk (pronounced STREL-zik) will claw, hold and trip to protect his passer, as he did last year when he filled in admirably after tackle Leon Searcy signed with the Jaguars. Strzelczyk is ready for a breakthrough season in 1997, but he'll need all of his bad-to-the-bone ability as he guards the right side for inexperienced but dangerous quarterback Kordell Stewart.
