Kordell Stewart, who achieved his goal of becoming a starting NFL quarterback, reflects on whether this decision affected his chances of being a Hall of Fame receiver. Stewart played a key role in leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to AFC Championship games in 1997 and 2001.

Initially drafted by the Steelers in 1995, Stewart volunteered to play multiple positions, including receiver, during his first two seasons. He quickly gained recognition for his versatility, contributing significantly to the team's success as both a quarterback and a receiver.
