Three great choices for sure! Ben would be first on any of my lists that’s for sure. Pouncey and Joey excellent selections.

Well deserved! Any pre-70's names that we can eventually expect to be added?

 

[SteelerSask2]

All deserved!

Thanks for posting slash, home page article is always a nice reference.

Ben started 247 of the 249 that he was eligible for, talk about IRON Man. Add in how the league had open range put on him, very little protection from the ref’s / league.

Happy for POUNCY

Glad for “Shot me in the butt”.




Salute the nation

I won’t keep it to just pre-70s but:

DeCastro
Gary Anderson
Ernie Holmes
Keisel

And eventually Watt, Heyward, perhaps AB.

Dark horses:

Maybe Minkah and Bell.

I agree everyone but Minkah and Bell had similar Steelers careers. Like 3-4 big years. That doesn’t cut it in my books.

All good picks. Is Kirkland in yet?

AB and Bell should both be in, but it also needs to be at a time when they will attend the ceremony. Who knows when that will happen from either their side or the Steelers side.

Kirkland is a good thought, yeah he isn’t in yet.

I just think people's memories are a funny thing. Bell played 5 seasons for the Steelers. He had just over 5000 yards. He left under not great circumstances and had a weed incident.
Najee Harris played 4 seasons and had just over 4000 yards. He was an exemplary Steelers player. Maybe took a couple backhand jabs at the way things are being done.......but was he wrong?
If Bell is in Hall of Honor you better make that thing pretty damn big. AB. I can look past everything if he can get his head on right for a day and not be an *******. He was that good. Bell......no way.

I don’t think there is any question as to AB getting the nod…………… JAIL might slow the go though.

Whilst Harris may have played one season less, he played 6 games more than Bell for the Steelers. Bell had three seasons in which he averaged greater than 4.5 yards per carry, Harris best was 4.1. Bell also did a lot more as a receiver than Harris.
