Selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1974 NFL Draft, many pro football coaches and scouts thought Lambert was too small to play linebacker in the NFL (Lambert played quarterback at Crestwood HS before switching to defensive end at Kent State.) While most of his pro career he was reported to be 6'4" and 220 pounds, he measured 6'3 1/2" and 204 pounds as a rookie. However, he displayed strength at warding off blockers and reading offenses.
The Steelers took a chance on Lambert, and he rewarded them quickly when he replaced middle linebacker Henry Davis. Lambert went on to earn the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award as a central figure on a great Steeler defense that went on to win their first Super Bowl IX over the Minnesota Vikings 16-6.
Lambert was known for the intensity with which he played. Lambert prided himself on his ability to hit hard and intimidate the opposition. By the time of his retirement, he was widely recognized as one of the great middle-linebackers in the history of the game. He played with the Steelers, starting at middle linebacker, for eleven seasons and he had 28 career interceptions, over 1400 career tackles, and 23-1/2 sacks. NETQUOTEVAR:1
