we STEELER fans were actually hoping to get Pennington in that draft.
Even when the Steelers chose Michigan State wide receiver Plaxico Burress, they were so enamored with Pennington they made a strong push to acquire him with the Jets' No. 18 pick.
They offered New York coach Bill Parcells their second-, third- and fourth-round picks to move up and take Pennington -- an unprecedented offer by a conservative franchise that prefers to build via the draft rather than free agency.
