Early Retirement
As a defunct franchise, the Steeldogs can’t retire any numbers into a ring of fame, but we’ll do one better retire all the numbers. After all, no one will ever have the privilege of wearing numbers ‘s 1 through 99 for the Steeldogs ever again. This snapshot is a picture of the Steeldogs’ final roster, frozen in time, at least until one day, a team bearing the same name, clad in orange, black and silver, finally makes its prodigal return to the city of Birmingham. Without further ado, here’s the last of the Mohicans Steeldogs… Name Position1 Bradly Chavez WR/DB2 Markeith Cooper WR3 Willie Smith DB5 Jhun Cook WR/DB7 Marcus Mitchell FB/LB7 Ronald Dillon WR/DB8 Chico Cleveland WR/LB9 Mitch Tanney QB10 Nick Hayes K11 Herman Bell WR12 Justin Midgett QB16 David Philyaw WR/DB20 Thadio Hill DB22 Jon Olinger WR/DB24 Will Evans DB24 Adrian Ghent DB35 John Mohring FB/LB37 Rajohn Myles FB/LB42 Rico Reese DL45 Clifford Browning DL51 Eric Scott OL/DL62 Jaden Volchoff OL72 Myron Powe OL78 Greg Green OL/DL80 Mareno Philyaw WR/LB88 David Daniel OL/DL90 James Permenis FB/LB93 Deon Deboise OL/LB
