Wrestling

Haselrig won PIAA Pennsylvania state high school championship in 1984 despite not wrestling during the regular season due to Johnstown High's lack of a wrestling team.[2]

While in college Haselrig would defeat future NCAA and Olympic champion Kurt Angle.[3] In 2009, he was inducted into Pitt–Johnstown's Athletics Hall of Fame.[4]

NFL

After a brief run wrestling on the international level, Haselrig turned his attention to pro football. Despite never having played football in college,[5] Haselrig was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and became a Pro Bowl offensive guard in his third NFL season.[6] After four years with the Steelers, Haselrig spent one season with the New York Jets before retiring from the NFL.
