Timeline
His father Connie "Big Bird" Strzelczyk was a 6-foot-4 basketball standout player at Montana State University, from 1958 to 1960.
He later returned to Buffalo where he became a school teacher and a painting contractor in the summer breaks.
His father and mother, Mary Joyce, separated when Strzelczyk was 7.
Mary Joyce later called Strzelczyk's father a "tremendous influence" in sports.
Growing up Strzelczyk played hockey, football, and basketball.
He also was a baseball pitcher until shoulder pain prevented him from throwing anymore.
He attended West Seneca West Senior High School and was a local basketball star.
As a 6ft 5in forward, Strzelczyk averaged 21 points a game as a junior and 22 as a senior, earning all-Western New York honors.
Despite his love for football, Strzelczyk was set on playing basketball in college.
However Strzelczyk's dad, who had played college basketball only to end up teaching, convinced him that he had a better future in football.
Justin Conrad Strzelczyk (August 18, 1968 – September 30, 2004) was an American football offensive tackle who played nine full seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1990 to 1998.
His death, at age 36, helped spark a debate in the NFL about the link between playing football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
He is one of at least 345 NFL players to be diagnosed after death with this disease, which is caused by repeated hits to the head.
Strzelczyk was born and grew up in West Seneca, New York.
He was a member of the high school's graduating class of 1986.
Strzelczyk went on to play football at the University of Maine.
The school won two Yankee Conference titles, during Strzelczyk's time on the team.
Teammates stated that he hated steroids and made his weight through eating and weight training.
He was given the nickname "Jughead", after the Archie comics character.
In January 1990, he played in the East-West Shrine Game held in California.
There he impressed then-Steelers coach, Chuck Noll, who drafted Strzelczyk in the 11th round of the 1990 NFL Draft.
He made the Pittsburgh Steelers roster after the team's 1990 training camp and moved to Plum.
Strzelczyk played on the Steelers special teams during his first two seasons.
However, when right tackle Tunch Ilkin was injured and missed four games in 1992, Strzelczyk leaped into starting duty.
He then started 75 of the 133 games he played and started at every line position, except center.
During games, he would pick up the red phone on the Steelers' sideline and scream at the team's offensive coordinator, from Ron Erhardt to Chan Gailey to Ray Sherman: "Run the damn ball!"
He played a key role in getting the Steelers to Super Bowl XXX.
In early 1993, he married his wife Keana, and the couple had two children, before a divorce in 2001.
Strzelczyk appeared in the 1997 Adam Sandler music video, "The Lonesome Kicker".
Strzelczyk took up riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles, after signing with the Steelers.
When he purchased his first bike at a bike-purchase celebration with teammates Ariel Solomon and Jerry Olsavsky in Oakland, Strzelczyk rammed into a couple of parked cars, denting only the fuel tank and his bike.
He also took up the guitar and banjo, watching videos, reading books, cribbage and day trading as well.
In May 1998 Strzelczyk's father died after being paralyzed in a drunk-driving crash.
Five months later, during a Monday Night Football game, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Strzelczyk had a quadriceps tear that required season-ending surgery two days later.
He then injured his knee again in a bar fight in March 1999, which required further surgery, ending his next season as well.
The Steelers placed him on injured reserve and paid him $187,000, a fraction of the $1.5 million he was scheduled to earn.
Then, he tore his biceps on January 24, 2000, celebrating a hockey game.
The string of injuries prompted the Steelers to waive Strzelczyk.
On October 16, 2009, West Seneca West High School retired Strzelczyk's football jersey #46.
