By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN. Joe Gilliam, who was one of the first blacks to be a starting pro quarterback when he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers' 1974 Super Bowl champions but who later slid into drug addiction and homelessness, died Monday in Nashville. He was 49.
The Steelers' current No. 2 quarterback, Bruce Gradkowski, suffered a hand injury in the Week 2 preseason game against Green Bay and was placed on injured reserve. Vick, 35, had been a free agent since his one-year contract with the New York Jets expired in March. He played in 10 games, with three starts, for the Jets last season. He spent the previous five years with the Philadelphia Eagles.
